To find the answer, we need to determine the cost of the movie tickets and then calculate what percentage it represents of the total amount Jake spent.

First, we calculate the cost of the movie tickets. Jake bought 2 tickets at $6 each, so the total cost of the movie tickets is 2 * $6 = $12.

Next, we find the percentage that $12 represents of the total amount Jake spent. To do this, we divide the cost of the movie tickets ($12) by the total amount Jake spent ($20) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

So, the percentage that $12 represents of $20 is (12 / 20) * 100 = 0.6 * 100 = 60%.

Therefore, Jake spent 60% of the $20 on movie tickets. The answer is C) 60%.
