Jason spent half of his allowance going to the ;movies. He washed the family car and earned 8 dollars. What is his weekly allowance if he ended with 11 dollars.

Respuesta :

Your equation would be x/2 +8=11 . 11-8 =3 so x/2=3 multiply by 2 to get rid of the denominator x=6

He starts with $6.00

It says he spends 1/2 of his allowance on the movies. 6/2=3

He has $3. Then it says He gained $8.00 for washing the "family" car.  

$6.00+$8.00

=$11

Answer=$6.00
