Fred spent half of his allowance going to the movies. He washed the family car and earned 6 dollars. What is his weekly allowance if he ended with 16 dollars

Respuesta :

Answer:

His weekly allowance is 20 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

the full equation would be (with x equaling weekly allowance):

(x÷2)+6=16

subtract 6 from each side to get

(x÷2)=10

then multiply each side by 2

x=20

Weekly allowance is $10. He ended with $16, so subtract 6 from 16 to get 10. $10 was the amount he still has left, and since he spent half multiply 10 by 2 to get $20
