Mofor spent half of his weekly allowance on
clothes. To earn more money his parents let
him clean the oven for $8. What is his
weekly allowance if he ended with $15?
Please explain how you got the answer.
His weekly allowance would be $14 ; first you have to do 15-8= $7, because he got 8 dollars from cleaning the oven. Then you multiply the $7 by 2 because he had this much left after buying clothes, making his allowance twice as much, so 7 x 2= $14
