Answer 2

• Shanna had $10 in her piggy bank and earned $5 each week in allowance.

Explanation:

Week 0 dollars = 10

This means Shanna had $10 her piggy bank before the week started

Week 2 dollars = 20

Her account has increased from 10 to 20 dollars in two weeks. This means she is earning

Amount earned per week = change in earnings / change in week

= 20 dollars - 10 dollars / Week 2 - week 1

= 10 dollars / 2 weeks

= 5 dollars per week

Amount earned per week = $5

Therefore,

• Shanna had $10 in her piggy bank and earned $5 each week in allowance
