Let s and g represents the numbers of suits and gowns produced.
The number of zippers used is 2s+g.
The number of buttons used is 5s+8g.
In order to use all of the available zippers and buttons, we must have ...
- 2s + g = 171
- 5s + 8g = 576
Cramer's rule tells you the solution to the system
Is given by
- x = (bf-ey)/(bd-ea)
- y = (cd-fa)/(bd-ea)
Using this rule on the equations for zippers and buttons, we have
... s = (1·576 -8·171)/(1·5 -8·2) = -792/-11 = 72
... g = (171·5 -2·576)/-11 = -297/-11 = 27
72 suits and 27 gowns can be made from available zippers and buttons.

The question in English
<span>A dance was attended by 270 people. If the gentlemen tickets cost 100 pesos and the lady tickets 80 pesos and 24800 pesos were collected for all the tickets. How many women and how many men attended the dance?
let
x---------> the number of men
y--------> the number of women
we know that
x+y=270----> x=270-y-----> equation 1
100x+80y=24800-------> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
100*[270-y]+80y=24800----> 27000-100y+80y=24800
20y=2200-----> y=110
x=270-y----> x=270-110----> x=160
the answer is
the number of men ---> 160
the number of women----> 110
the answer in Spanish
</span>hagamos
x--------->la cantidad de hombres
y--------->la cantidad de mujeres
Sabemos que
x+y=270----> x=270-y-----> ecuacion 1
100x+80y=24800-------> ecuacion 2
sustituimos la ecuacion 1 en la ecuacion 2
100*[270-y]+80y=24800----> 27000-100y+80y=24800
20y=2200-----> y=110
x=270-y----> x=270-110----> x=160
La respuesta es
la cantidad de hombres es 160
la cantidad de mujeres es 110
