Movie tickets cost $12.50 each, and a small bag of popcorn costs $4.50. Seven friends accept the invitation to the twins’ birthday party. At the last minute, Tomas and Emilio learn that their neighbor also wants to attend. The twins realize that they can stay within their budget by buying different amounts of popcorn.
