In a certain game, the units of currency of 3 countries are the crown, shield, and the pound, respectively. If 2 crowns equal 3 shields and 3 shields equal 4 pounds, how many crowns equal 18 pounds?

A. 9
B. 16
C. 18
D. 32
E. 36

The OA is A

So, we have 2 Crowns = 3 Shields = 4 Pounds

=> 1 pound = 1/2 Crown

Thus, 18 pound = 18*(1/2) = 9 Crowns

The correct answer: A

Hope this helps!
