Answer

$*$ $600$ Classic Tuxedos $80$ Designer Tuxedos $*$ $450$ Classic Tuxedos $160$ Designer Tuxedos $*$ $300$ Classic Tuxedos $240$ Designer Tuxedos

Work Step by Step

We have the following information: Classic tuxedo($x$) ~ $\$80$ Designer tuxedo($y$) ~ $\$150$ Let us represent a single Classic tuxedo by $x$ and a Designer tuxedo by $y$. Also let the total revenue be $R$ According to the information, we can write the formula for $R$: $R=80x+150y$ Required Revenue is given to be $\$60,000$ $60000=80x+150y$ The number of classic tuxedos($x$) to be rented is given, so we have to write the formula for Designer tuxedos($y$). $150y=60000-80x$ simplify: $15y=6000-8x$ $y=400-\frac{8x}{15}$ $*$ $x=600$ $y=400-\frac{8\times 600}{15}$ $y=400-320$ $y=80$ $80$ Designer Tuxedos $*$ $x=450$ $y=400-\frac{8\times 450}{15}$ $y=400-240$ $y=160$ $160$ Designer Tuxedos $*$ $x=300$ $y=400-\frac{8\times 300}{15}$ $y=400-160$ $y=240$ $240$ Designer Tuxedos
