Anjali spent half of her weekly allowance
at the movies. To earn more money her
parents let her weed the garden for $10.
What is her weekly allowance if she ended
with $19?
The answer is $18. She ended with $19, her parents gave her $10 for the garden work and she had $9 left. The $9 was from the money she originally had and it was what was left over after spending half of her allowance. She had $18 as allowance.
