Question

james spent half his weekly allowance on candy. to earn more money his parents let him wash the dog for 10$. what is his weekly allowance if he ended with 17$?

Answer 1

He spent half of his allowance. HALF

he washed a dog for $10

17-10=7

Since he spent exactly half you add the same number.

so $7 + $7+ $14

His weekly allowance is $14.
