Answer: D. 220 student tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create a system of equations with the given information to solve for how many student tickets the drama club sold. Let a be adult tickets and s be student tickets.
a + s = 360
$5a + $3s = $1,360
Now, we will solve for s. We will solve by elimination.
a + s = 360
$5a + $3s = $1,360
-5 * (a + s = 360)
$5a + $3s = $1,360
-5a - 5s = -1,800
$5a + $3s = $1,360
$-2s = $-440
s = 220 student tickets
We can also graph this, see attached. Here, a = x and s = y.
