Answer provided by our tutors
let
a = the number of activity cardholders tickets
n = the number of non-ticket cardholders tickets
there were 735 tickets
a + n = 735
total amount collected was $1212.00
1.25*a + 2.00*n = 1212
by solving the system of equations
a + n = 735
1.25*a + 2.00*n = 1212
we find
a = 344 tickets
n = 391 tickets
