Final answer:

To determine whether Frank's mom is correct in saying that they would save more than $130 by buying 5 tickets, we need to know the actual cost per ticket.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether Frank's mom is correct, we need more information about the costs of the tickets. If we assume that each ticket costs $26, we can calculate the total cost of 5 tickets as 5 * $26 = $130. If the total cost of 5 tickets is greater than $130, then Frank's mom is correct in saying that they would save more than $130 by buying 5 tickets. If the total cost is less than $130, then Frank's mom is incorrect.

For example, if each ticket costs $30, the total cost of 5 tickets would be 5 * $30 = $150, which is greater than $130. Therefore, we would agree with Frank's mom that they would save more than $130 by buying 5 tickets.

However, if each ticket costs $25, the total cost of 5 tickets would be 5 * $25 = $125, which is less than $130. Therefore, we would disagree with Frank's mom as they would not save more than $130 by buying 5 tickets. It is important to know the actual cost per ticket to determine whether Frank's mom is correct or not.
