The Snow Sports Club from Sierra High School is boarding the tram at Heavenly Valley to ride up to the top of the mountain. The tram conductor charges $10 for each member and $1 for each snowboard. Some members are just enjoying the ride up and don't have snowboards. The conductor collected $179. The number of members riding the tram is one less than twice the number of snowboards. How many club members and how many snowboards ride up on the tram?

17 people and 9 snowboards.
The answer would be 17 people and 9 snowboards because the problem states "The number of members riding the tram is one less than twice the number of snowboards." that means that if you multiply the number of snowboards by 2 (which is 18) and subtract 1 you will get the number of people (which is 17) also if you look at the number it is $179 you can multiply 17 by 10 you get 170 and 9 snowboards makes 179 so there is your answer.

Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)
