Answer:

Assuming you want to know what fraction of the original amount you have.

a = allowance

(1/2)a = what have left after Monday

(1/2(1/2)a = what you have after Tuesday

(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)a = what you have after Wednesday.

Doing the multiplication.

(1/8)a = what you have left.

You have 1/8 of what you had at the start.

Hope this help u
