In this question, the first information that we get is that Kayla spent half of her weekly allowance in clothes. On cleaning the oven Kayla gets $4. Finally Kayla is left with $12. Let us assume that the weekly allowance of Kayla = x Amount of allowance saved after buying clothes = x/2 Then we can go for the equation x/2 + 4 = 12 x + (4 * 2) = 12 * 2 x + 8 = 24 x = 24 -8 = 16 So we can now see that the weekly allowance of Kayla is $16
