Answer 1

Answer: (C)

If quantities A and B are equal

Answer 2

Let the amount received by travis as allowance =100

Amount spent on movie ticket $=\frac{1}{5}\times100=20$

Remaining amount = 100x - 20x = 80x

Amount spent on a slice of pizza $=\frac{1}{4}\times80=20$

Amounts spent on movie ticket and slice of pizza is same
Hence, option C is the correct answer. The correct option is (C): If quantities A and B are equal
