Answer:

Option B. 220

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of student tickets sold

y ----> the number of adult tickets sold

we know that

[tex]x+y=360[/tex]

[tex]y=360-x[/tex] ----> equation A

[tex]3x+5y=1,360[/tex] ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

[tex]3x+5(360-x)=1,360[/tex]

solve for x

[tex]3x+1,800-5x=1,360[/tex]

[tex]5x-3x=1,800-1,360[/tex]

[tex]2x=440[/tex]

[tex]x=220\ student\ tickets[/tex]
