1 answer

To find out how much Jackson spent on popcorn, we need to subtract the total amount spent on tickets, candy, and drinks from the total amount spent at the movies.

Total amount spent = $56
Amount spent on tickets = $22
Amount spent on candy = $8
Amount spent on drinks = $9

Total amount spent on tickets, candy, and drinks = $22 + $8 + $9 = $39

Amount spent on popcorn = $56 - $39 = $17

Jackson spent $17 on popcorn.
