Please help no matter how much math I do I can’t figure this out

Answer:
8 student tickets and 2 adult
Step-by-step explanation:
$12 for popcorn
$12 for drink
12+12=24
9x8=72
24+72=96
12x2=24
96+24=120
I gotchu homie
Step-by-step explanation:
4×3 =12 (the drinks)
6+6=12 (popcorn)
even if they purchased 12 student tickets for the cheapest price of 9$ it will be a total of 108...and just with the food and drinks which would add another 24 to it?
how is this possible?
If the drinks and snacks arent added on it would work such as
4 adults ($12 each) = $48
8 student tickets ($9 each) = $72
total price = $120
