Answer:

In the case of 4 tickets it can be possible

Explanation:

Let us assume the number of tickets be t

Now as per the question the equations would be

For you = t + $8

For your friend = t + $12

In the case when you both spend the same amount so the above equations would be equivalent to each other

t + $8 = t + $12

So here the tickets would be 4 so this is possible that you both spend the same amounts
