    200

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let number of tickets sold before game be x while those at the gate be y

    Total tickets sold are 600 hence x+y=600

    Cost of tickets

    Total amount collected is $700 hence

    x+1.5y=700

    x+y=600

    x+1.5y=700

    Subtracting equation 1 and 2

    0.5y=100 hence y=200
