Answer
Answer:
A. $18,750
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate this - week's spending
This week's spending = $2\times12500 = 25000$ dollars
Step2: Calculate total of previous two - weeks
Total of previous two - weeks = $12500 + 25000=37500$ dollars
Step3: Calculate next - week's spending
Next - week's spending = $\frac{37500}{2}=18750$ dollars
