Answer:

Grant's weekly allowance is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Grant ended with $15. We can say that Grant's weekly allowance is x.

x/2 + 5 = 15

Now to solve:

x/2 + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5 (subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the x/2)

x/2 = 10

x/2 * 2 = 10 * 2 (multiply both sides by 2 to isolate the x)

x = 20

Grant's weekly allowance is $20.
