Variables:
x: hawk fans
y: cyclone fans
The basketball game had 600 people in attendance means:
x + y = 600
The ratio of hawk fans to cyclone fans is 2:10 means
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{10} \\ 10x=2y \\ \frac{10x}{2}=y \\ 5x=y \end{gathered}[/tex]Substituting the last equation into the first equation, we get:
x + 5x = 600
6x = 600
x = 600/6
x = 100
And the value of y is:
y = 5*100
y = 500
There were 500 - 100 = 400 more cyclone fans
