Answer:

C

x + y = 210

3.5x + 6y = 935

Explanation:

y = No. of students

x = No. of teachers

Total No. of people who attended the dinner = x + y = 210 ----------(eq. 1)

Amount of tickets collected from all students = 6y

Amount of tickets collected from all teachers = 3.5x

Total amount collected from students= 3.5x + 6y = 935 ------- (eq. 2)

Therefore:

x + y = 210

3.5x + 6y = 935
