Question

My mother pays my brother twice as much allowance as she pays me because he cleans the bathrooms. Together we get $24 each week. How much is my brother’s allowance each week?

Answer 1

Your brother gets $16 and you get $8.

Explanation:

first of all what is 16+8=24

first step..i started from 2 and did twice of that wich is 4 but that only got $6

second step.... just keep doing your multiples....

third step....as soon as i got to the number 8 i did twice of that and i got 16 then i added those and i got $24

and that is your answer.
