yes
Yes.
Well, that's one way to save money for a rainy day! Your math checks out, and the answer is indeed $1.50 left in the piggy bank. I hope Robert enjoyed his movie! Maybe next time he can save a little more for popcorn too.
To get the answer, we need to follow these steps:
1. Find out how much money Robert put in his piggy bank: He received a weekly allowance of $6.00, so we calculate 50% of that amount: 6.00 * 0.50 = $3.00.
2. Find out how much money Robert took out from the piggy bank: He took out 50% of the amount in the piggy bank, which is 50% of $3.00. 3.00 * 0.50 = $1.50.
3. Calculate the remaining amount of money in the piggy bank: The original amount in the piggy bank ($3.00) minus the amount he took out ($1.50) gives us $1.50.
So, the answer is $1.50.
