Question

Chanise's allowance is 1 3 of her older brother's allowance. Chanise's allowance is $6 per week. Solve the equation a 3 =6 to find out how much allowance Chanise's brother earns in a week.

Answer 1

Answer:

a = $ 18

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Chinase's allowance is $6 per week and it is 1/3rd of his brother's allowance. Assuming the brother's allowance as "a", we can write the equation as follows:

$\ 6 = \frac{a}{3}\\a = (\ 6)(3)$

a = $ 18

Therefore, the allowance earned by Chinse's brother every week is found to be $ 18.
