Joe spent half of his weekly allowance playing mini-golf. to earn money, his parents let him weed the garden for $6. what is his weekly allowance if he ended with $12? let a=allowance

Joe's weekly allowance = $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe spent half of his weekly allowance playing mini-golf

Let a = his weekly allowance

This means Joe spent a/2 playing mini-golf.

To earn money, his parents let him weed the garden for $6

This means Joe's total money

= a + 6

What is his weekly allowance if he ended with $12?

This means he had $12 left after spending a/2 from ta total of (a +6)

Therefore,

(a +6) -a/2 = 12

Taking LCM of 2

[2(a+6)-a]/2=12

Cross multiplying by 2

2a + 12-a = 24

a+12 =24

a = 24-12 =$12

Joe's weekly allowance = $12
