If we let x be the number of ticket sold and y be the amount in dollars donated then, the equation would be,
                                      x = 2y
We can check our answer by substituting the given,
                                      10 = 2(5)
                                       10 = 10
The equation can also be written as,
                                     y = (1/2)x
Thus, Student B is correct.

Answer:

Copy and paste this:

Step-by-step explanation:

Student B is correct because the tickets sold represent the input (x) and the amount donated represents the output (y).

Student B is correct because the donated amount is represented by 5 = One-half(10).

Student B is correct because Student A’s equation y = 2x represents 5 = 2(10), which is incorrect.
