Question

Payton spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money, her parents let her clean the oven for $8. What is Payton weekly allowance if she ended with $15

Answer 1

Payton's weekly allowance is $14.

Explanation:

If she ended up with $15 after earning $8, then we to subtract 15 by 8.

15 - 8 = 7

If Payton spent half of her allowance before earning more money from her chore, then her allowance must be 7 times 2.

7 x 2 = 14.

Therefore, Payton's weekly allowance is $14.

Hope this helps! :)
