let x be the number of activity cardholder's tickets sold at $1.25
non - 284-x tickets $2.25
Total revene = $521
..
1,25x+(284-x)*2.25 = 521
1.25x + 639-2.25x=521
-x= -639-521
x= 118 activity cardholder's tickets
284-118= 166 non activity cardholder's tickets

c+n=284 c=284-n
1.25c+2.25n=521
1.25(284-n)+2.25n=521
355-1.25n+2.25n=521
n=166
c=284-166
c=118
-----------------
1.25*118+2.25*166=521
147.50+373.50=521
