If eight movie tickets cost 2 times as much as one football game ticket, and each movie ticket is sold at $30, calculate the total amount of money Chandler will pay if he buys eight movie tickets and five football game tickets. Give me reasons, before answering the question

If each movie ticket is sold at $30, the cost of buying eight movie tickets is 8 * $30 = $240. Since eight movie tickets cost 2 times as much as one football game ticket, the cost of buying one football game ticket is $240 / 2 = $120. Buying five football game tickets will cost 5 * $120 = $600. The total cost of buying eight movie tickets and five football game tickets is $600 + $240 = $840. So the final answer is 840.
