HEY DEAR ...

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.
