Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount spent on cloths is 1/3

The amount earned from washing the car is $5

Amount at the end of the week is $29

Let the amount earned that week be x

Then amount spent on cloths = 1/3x

so the equation is

x- 1/3 x+$5=$29

2/3 x=29-5

2/3 x= 24

x=(24*3)/2= $36
