Maria spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her mow the lawn for $8. What is her weekly allowance if she ended with $18? Please show all the steps,
Let maria's weekly allowance be x dollars.
She spent half of it so she is left with x/2 dollars.
She earned another $8
so now she has x/2+8 dollars and we are told that this equals $18.
You can do it now I think.
