To find out who got to school faster and by how many minutes, we need to calculate the time difference between their start and end times.

Kurt's start time is 7:35 am and his end time is 8:25 am. To calculate the time difference, we subtract the start time from the end time:

8:25 am - 7:35 am = 50 minutes

Kurt took 50 minutes to get to school.

Drew's start time is 7:55 am and his end time is 8:30 am. To calculate the time difference, we subtract the start time from the end time:

8:30 am - 7:55 am = 35 minutes

Drew took 35 minutes to get to school.

Comparing the time differences, we see that Drew got to school faster by 50 - 35 = 15 minutes.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Drew; 15 minutes faster.
