Answer provided by our tutors
let
a = the number of activity cardholders tickets
n = the number of non-cardholders tickets
there were 277 tickets sold for a basketball game
a + n = 277
the activity cardholders tickets cost 1.50 and non-cardholders tickets cost 2.00 the total amount of money collected was 465.00
1.50a + 2.00n = 465
by solving the system of equations
a + n = 277
1.50a + 2.00n = 465
we find
a = 178 activity cardholders tickets sold
n = 99 non-cardholders tickets sold
