Answer:

a = $ 18

Explanation:

It is given that Chinase's allowance is $6 per week and it is 1/3rd of his brother's allowance. Assuming the brother's allowance as "a", we can write the equation as follows:


\$6 = (a)/(3)\\a = (\$6)(3)

a = $ 18

Therefore, the allowance earned by Chinse's brother every week is found to be $ 18.
