Answer:
Answer: A'Reana's weekly allowance is $100
Step-by-step explanation:
Backward Solution
To solve some problems, we can work backward, using the inverse operations, to arrive at the solution.
The problem explains a sequence of expenses A'Reana does with her weekly allowance. In the end, she had $37.50.
That final balance came when she last spent $7.50 on a pizza. Thus, before that, she had $37.50+$7.50=$45
This balance is half of her previously remaining money. The other half was spent on a new shirt. Thus she had 2*$45=$90.
Those $90 were left after she gave $10 to her friend Taylor, thus, the initial money was $90+$10 = $100
