    From the information we have now we could write this equation:

    ax+by=z

    where

    a - number of times she played arcade

    x - prize of arcade

    b - number of times of Ferris wheel

    y - prize of Ferris

    z - the whole allowance

    so in order to make it a two-variable equasion we need to know the value of three more variables.

    If let's say we know a, b, and z we could solve the problem of how much cheaper/more expensive the arcade is than ferris wheel (we could find something like x=2y, for example (we don't know yet, we need more variables) so we'd know that one game is more expensive than the other.
