7) Sarawong spent half of his weekly allowance on candy. To earn more money his parents let him wash the dog for $6.10. What is his weekly allowance if he ended with $11.40?

$10.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarawong ends with $11.40, and we need to find his weekly allowance by working backward. First, we learn that he earned $6.10 of that total amount of money by washing the dog, so we can subtract the two values:

11.4 - 6.1 = 5.3

So, before washing the dog, Sarawong had $5.30. But he only received this after spending half of his weekly allowance, so $5.30 must be half of his weekly allowance. If we multiply $5.30 by 2, we should be able to find his weekly allownce.

5.3 × 2 = 10.6

Now, we can check our work. First, he spends half of his weekly allowance on candy. Half of 10.6 is 5.3, so he now has $5.30. Then, he earns $6.10 more by washing the dog. 5.3 + 6.1 = 11.4, which is the ending value. So, our work was correct! Hopefully that's helpful. :)

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
