Michael's parents doubled his pocket money. His sister paid $1 for ice-cream from her pocket money and he paid $3 of his poket money for an new toy. After making these payments, they have the same money left. If his sister's pocket money is $6, what was Michael's pocket money before doubling it?

1. How much money did they together have after making the payments?

2. How much money did Michael have after his pocket money was doubled. Find the value of x.

3. How much did Micheal's sister have before making the payment?

(ONLY THE ANSWER)

x = $4

1. $10

2. $8

3. $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Michael's doubled pocket money = 2x

He spends $3

Balance = 2x - 3

His sister's pocket money = $6

She spends $1

Balance = $6 - $1

= $5

2x - 3 = 5

2x = 5 + 3

2x = 8

x = 8/2

= 4

x = $4

After making the payments, they both together have $10

After Michael's pocket money was doubled, he has 2x

= 2(4)

= $8

His sister's has $6 before making the payments
