Question

Jack and Jill each go out shopping.

Jack spends 1/3 of his money.
Jill spends 40% of her money.

Frank says Jack spent more because 1 /3 is greater than 40%.

Alice says you cannot tell who spent more.
Who do you agree with, Frank or Alice? Explain why.

Answer 1

I agree with Alice because you do not know how much money Jill and Jack had before they went shopping. If they had the same amount of money Jill would have spent more because 40 percent is greater than 1/3.

Explanation:

Thank me later

Answer 2

I agree with Alice because it depends on how much money they had, which was not stated in the question.
