I could answer this for you, but if I do, what have you learned? That’s your homework assignment, do it yourself!

Let X be the number of students and Y be the price each paid. Solve for Y in terms of X.

Then let (X+2) be just that, 2 more than the original number of students. What will be the price each pays now?

Substitute the answer to the first part into the second part and solve.

I couldn’t tell you how to show the work, but the original number of students would be 10. They each pay $12. If there are 12, they each pay $10.
