Jordan spent half of his allowance at the
movies. he then earned $8 washing his
neighbor's car. if he ended the week with
$17, how much was his allowance?

Hello!

If you divided by two then added 8 to reach 17, simply reverse the process, like so:

17 - 8 = 9

9 * 2 = 18

Jordan's allowance is $18

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

1/4 because there is 4 grades.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
