Answer:

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
