Question

Ming spent half of her weekly allowance aying mini golf. To earn more money her parents let her wash the car for $5. What is her weekly allowance if she ended with $9

Answer 1

Answer:

Her weekly allowance is $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weekly allowance of Ming is $x.

If she spends half of her weekly allowance playing mini-golf and to earn more money her parents let her wash the car for $5, then the remaining amount of money that she has = $(\frac{x}{2} + 5)$ dollars.

Now, given that $(\frac{x}{2} + 5) = 9$

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} = 4$

⇒ x = $8

Therefore, her weekly allowance is $8. (Answer)
