Question

Jaidee spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her wash a dog for $9. What is her weekley allowance if she ended with $16?

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to subtract the amount she earned from walking the dog ($9.00) from the end total ($16.00). This leaves us with $7.00.

Since she spent exactly half of her weekly allowance, we must multiply the remaining $7.00 by 2. This leaves us with our final answer of $14.00.
