Question

Chanise's allowance is 1 3 of her older brother's allowance. Chanise's allowance is $6 per week. Solve the equation a 3 =6 to find out how much allowance Chanise's brother earns in a week.

Answer 1

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.
