Problem

Use the table's \(\$8\) cost per adult ticket and \(t~\text{adult}~\text{tickets}\) to write an expression for the total ticket cost.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Read the table as a unit rate paired with a changing count. Eight dollars applies to each adult ticket, while t tells how many tickets receive that charge. Multiply cost per ticket by ticket count so the ticket units cancel conceptually and the expression represents total dollars.
