Answer: $80

Explanation:

First you would take the $10 and add it to $50 to make three-fourths of his allowance. That would give us $60 and 60 divided by 3 would be 20. Then we would add $20 to $60 and give us his allowance which would be $80. Hope this helps!

Answer:

$80

Explanation:

So the game costs 10 less then 3/4ths

Find 3/4ths by adding 10 to 50.

60=3/4

Divide both sides by 3

20= 1/4

Multiply by 4

80= 4/4

80= 1 allowance
