Question

You have a third of your weekly allowance left after

bowling, To earn more money, you walked your neighbor's
dog for $10. You now have $16.50. How much is your
weekly allowance?

Answer 1

Your weekly allowance is $19.50

Explanation:

We're told that:

• you spent 1/3 of your weekly allowance (A),
• you earned $10 from walking your neighbor's dog, and you now have $16.50.

Thus, .we can use the following equation to determine your weekly allowance:

(1/3A + 10 = 16.50) - 10

(1/3A = 6.50) / (1/3)

(1/3A = 6.50) * 3

A = 19.50

Thus, your weekly allowance is $19.50.
