Answer:

• non-cardholder: 210
• cardholder: 368

Step-by-step 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.
