Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Membership fee for club members = $ 30

Ticket Price for for club members =$ 3

Let , number of Club members = x

And,Number of non club members=y

Ticket price for non club members= $ 6

Expressing the above situation in terms of Linear equation

  →30x+3x=6y

   →33x =6 y

Dividing both sides by 3,we get

→11 x=2y

So, when x is multiple of 2=2,4,6,8,...,(For Club Members)

and y is Multiple of 11=11,22,33,44,.....(For Non Club Members)

Ordered pair for Club Members and Non Club Members=(2,11),(4,22),(6,33),......

For these Ordered pairs ,cost is the same for  club members and non-members.

Answer 2

The club members would have to buy 2 to have the same amount as one non club members
