First you need to set up a formula. Underline all of your givens:
<u>Spent 1/2 on clothes $6 more for washing windows Ended with $10. </u> now you need to set up an equation. <u> </u>You know she ended up with $10. So that will be what it equals. Then you know that she earned $6 in addition to her allowance. So this would be (x= allowance) (x+6)/2 = 10. <u> </u>Now you need to solve for x. Multiply both sides by 2. <u> </u>x+6=20<u> </u>Now subtract both sides by 6 to get x alone: <u> </u>x=$14<u> </u><u> </u>
