Given :

During a particular week, she gave $10 to her friend Taylor, spent half of the remaining money on a new shirt, and then spent $7.50 on a pizza. At this point, she had $37.50.

To Find :

How much is Reana's weekly allowance.

Solution :

Let, allowance is x.

Then by given conditions :

37.50 = x - ( 10 + x/2 + 7.50 )

37.50 = x/2 - 17.50

x/2 = 55

x = $110

Therefore, Reana's weekly allowance is $110.

Hence, this is the required solution.
