Answer:

  • non-cardholder: 210
  • cardholder: 368

Explanation:

Let n represent the number of non-cardholder tickets sold. Then total revenue is ...

2.00n +1.25(578 -n) = 880.00

0.75n + 722.50 = 880.00

0.75n = 157.50 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 722.50

n = 210 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.75. Number of non-cardholder tickets

578 -n = 368 . . . . . number of cardholder tickets

368 cardholder and 210 non-cardholder tickets were sold.
