Question

If a person receives an allowance of $\$$20 per week, then what would be the value of the allowance received by the person after 3 weeks?

• A. $\$20$
• B. $\$40$
• C. $\$60$
• D. $\$80$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\$60$

The allowance received by the person in first week would be $\$20$.

Total allowance received by the person at end of second week would be $\$40$.

Total allowance received by the person at end of third week would be $\$60$.

We can also do this by:
Total Allowance $=$ Number of weeks $\times$ Allowance per week

Here, Number of weeks $=3$ and
Allowance per week $=\$20$

Total Allowance $=3\times \$20$

Total Allowance $=\$60$

Or

Allowance received in three months $=\$20+\$20+\$20$

$=3\times \$20$

$=\$60$
