Let's assume the weekly allowance as 'x'.
According to the given information, Angelica spent half of one weekly allowance at the movies. So, she spent (1/2)*x = x/2 at the movies.
Then, Angelica earned $5 for cleaning the windows in the house.
Therefore, her total earnings for the week would be her allowance plus the money earned from cleaning the windows: x + $5.
Since she ended the week with $8, we can set up the equation:
x + $5 = $8
Subtracting $5 from both sides of the equation:
x = $8 - $5
x = $3
Thus, Angelica's weekly allowance is $3.
Angelica earns a weekly allowance at the start of each week she started the week with just her weekly allowance then she spent half a weekly allowance at the movies to earn more money her parents let her clean the windows in the house for five dollars what is her weekly allowance if she ended the week with $8 solve using arithmetic or algebra and explain your steps
