Tyler is selling tickets for the school play, and charges dollars for adult tickets and $5 for child tickets. On Monday, he sold 12 child tickets and 9 adult tickets. On Tuesday, he sold 20 child tickets and 4 adult tickets. If Tyler made the same amount of money on both days, find the price for an adult ticket.
t dollars
$5 for child tickets. He sold 32 child tickets in total. We have to multiply 5 and 32 to figure out how much was made. So whats; \[32\times5=?\]

You’re approaching the problem wrong.

Ok.
We can assign variables into each ticket cost to form an equation equal to each other (you said Monday and Tuesday they made the same price)
Let’s just pretend, for easy sakes, that the variable c=the pricing of the child tickets a=the pricing of the adult tickets.
We can use these variables to form an equation. Can you give a guess what the equation for Monday will be?
