Michael is correct because although his parents removed the same amount of money from each person’s allowance, removing 10 dollars from Kelly’s allowance is 1/6 of the original amount of money whereas taking 10 dollars from Michael is taking away half of his original allowance. I hope this answer helped a lot :)
