If you would like to know how many of each type
of ticket were sold, you can calculate this using the following two
equations:


a ... the number of drakes fan club tickets

s ... the number of no members tickets


$550 = a * $20 + s $25 ... 550 = 20 a + 25 s

a + s = 25 ... a = 25 - s

__________________
550 = 20 a + 25 s


550 = 20 
(25 - s) + 25 s

550 = 20 25 - 20 s + 25 s

550 - 20 25 = 5 s

550 - 500 = 5 * s    /5

s = 50 / 5 

s = 10 tickets

a = 25 - s = 25 - 10 = 15 tickets

Result: There were 15 drakes fan club and 10 no members tickets sold.
