Solution

The correct option is A $16
Total weekly allowance =$44
Amount spent on milkshakes =$4
Amount spent on fruit juice =$6
Amount spent on candies =$2

Total amount spent =$4+$6+$2=$12

Amount left =$44$12=$32

It is given that $32 is split equally between college fund and charity.
Therefore,
Amount kept for charity =Amount left÷2=$32÷2=$16
Hence, option c is correct.
