Anjali spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her clean the windows in the house for $6. what is her weekly allowance if she ended with $10?
(if you could also tell me how you got the answer aka the work)
First you need to set up a formula. Underline all of your givens:
Spent 1/2 on clothes $6 more for washing windows Ended with $10.
now you need to set up an equation. 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. Now you need to solve for x. Multiply both sides by 2. x+6=20 Now subtract both sides by 6 to get x alone: x=$14
