In this question, the first information that we get is that Kayla spent half of her weekly allowance in clothes. On cleaning the oven Kayla gets \$4. Finally Kayla is left with \$12.

Let us assume that the weekly allowance of Kayla = x

Amount of allowance saved after buying clothes = x/2

Then we can go for the equation

x/2 + 4 = 12

x + (4 * 2) = 12 * 2

x + 8 = 24

x = 24 - 8

= 16

So we can now see that the weekly allowance of Kayla is \$16
