Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Let V be the number of punk rock video cassettes he buys and G be the number of sacks of garbage he accepts.
His total income is the sum of his earnings and his allowance:
Total income = 18G + 108.
His total expenditure on video cassettes is given by:
Expenditure = 6V.
His budget constraint is therefore:
18G + 108 = 6V,
which can be rearranged as:
6V - 18G = 108.
This is the equation described in choice C.
