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.
