Jim and Jake are twins who each receive the same amount of money for their birthdays. Jim spends all of his money on 3 movie tickets and a meal that costs $18. Jake spends all of his
money on 5 movie tickets. Assuming all the movie tickets cost the same amount, which
statement is true?

A. Jake spends $30 on movie tickets
B. Jim spent $40 on movie tickets
C. Jim spent less on movie tickets than he did on the meal
D. Jim spent more on movie tickets than he did on the meal

D. Jim spent more on movie tickets than he did on the meal

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim:

3x + 18

Jake:

5x

that means that $18 = 2 movie tickets

that means 1 movie ticket = 9 dollars

A is incorrect because: 3*9 = 27, not 30

B is incorrect because: 5*9 = 45, not 40

C is incorrect because: 27 is bigger than 18
