Answer 1

Answer:

(C) 220

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold and y represent the number of student tickets sold. With the information given, we can set up two equations:

$x+y=360$

$5x+3y=1360$ (Since for every adult ticket sold, $5 is made and for every student ticket sold, $3 is made)

In the first equation, we can represent x in terms of y:

$x=360-y$

And then, we can substitute x in the second equation for 360 - y to get:

$5(360-y)+3y=1360$ which simplifies to:

$1800-2y=1360$ and therefore, $y=220$.

Hope this helps :)
