Question

Ming spent half of her weekly allowance aying mini golf. To earn more money her parents let her wash the car for $5. What is her weekly allowance if she ended with $9

Answer 1

Her weekly allowance is $8.

Explanation:

Let the weekly allowance of Ming is $x.

If she spends half of her weekly allowance playing mini-golf and to earn more money her parents let her wash the car for $5, then the remaining amount of money that she has =
`((x)/(2) + 5)` dollars.

Now, given that
`((x)/(2) + 5) = 9`

⇒
`(x)/(2) = 4`

⇒ x = $8

Therefore, her weekly allowance is $8. (Answer)
