Before he got 11$ he had 7$ as he got 4$ by weeding the garden.

in the question, he spent half his weekly allowance on candy then got 4$ that means half of his weekly allowance is seven hence is weekly allowance is 2 times seven which is 14$.

Hope this helps

his allowance is $14

to find this you:

11-4=7

7*2= 14

The 11 is what he had the four is what he was given extra and the multiplied by two is because he spent half of his money at the candy store
