Let's start by finding out how much money Paula made from shoveling driveways on Saturday.

Paula charges $12 to shovel one driveway. Since she shoveled 6 driveways on Saturday, her earnings from Saturday would be:

\[
\text{Earnings from Saturday} = 6 \times 12 = 72 \text{ dollars}
\]

We know that Paula made a total of $144 for the weekend. We can find out how much she made on Sunday by subtracting her Saturday earnings from her total earnings:

\[
\text{Earnings from Sunday} = 144 - 72 = 72 \text{ dollars}
\]

Now, let's find the number of driveways she shoveled on Sunday. Since she charges $12 per driveway, we can set up the following equation:

\[
12x = 72
\]

where \( x \) is the number of driveways she shoveled on Sunday. To solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{72}{12} = 6
\]

So, she shoveled 6 driveways on Sunday.

### Equation
The equation representing the number of driveways shoveled is:

\[
12x + 72 = 144
\]
(where \( x \) is the number of driveways shoveled on Sunday)

### Answer Summary
Paula shoveled **6 driveways** on Sunday.
