Answer: 110

Step-by-step explanation: If the drama class sold 20 more adult tickets than student tickets to the fall play, and adult tickets cost $8, then the number of adult tickets sold can be calculated by adding 20 to the number of student tickets sold and multiplying by $8. We can set up an equation to represent this relationship, where A represents the number of adult tickets sold and S represents the number of student tickets sold:

A = S + 20

A * 8 = $880

We know that the total amount collected from ticket sales was $880, and we know that adult tickets cost $8, so we can divide $880 by $8 to find the number of adult tickets sold:

A = $880 / $8

A = 110

Therefore, the drama class sold 110 adult tickets to the fall play.
