Question
Corey’s weekly allowance was $60. He received 1/8 of his weekly allowance for each of the three additional chores he completed.
Calculate Corey’s total allowance for the week.
Answer
$82.50
Explanation
Weekly Allowance = $60
1 Chore = 1/8 of 60 = 1/8×60 = 7.50
3 Chores = 7.50 x 3 = 22.50
The total allowance for the week is 60+22.50 = 82.50
