    1/2 x > 0.4x

    where Robert's spending is greater than Rosa's spending.

    Allowance of Rosa = Allowance of Robert

    let x = allowance

    Rosa : video games = 0.4 (x); pizza = 2/5 (x)

    Robert : video games = 1/2 (x); pizza = 0.25 (x)

    let us assume that their allowance is 100 each week. so, x = 100

    Rosa : video games = 0.40 (100) = 40

    pizza 2/5 (100) = 200/5 = 40

    total spending: 40 + 40 = 80

    Robert : video games = 1/2 (100) = 50

    pizza 0.25 (100) = 25

    total spending: 50 + 25 = 75

    Spending on video games

    Rosa = 40

    Robert = 50

    Robert spent more of his allowance on video games than Rosa.

    1/2 x > 0.4x
