Work Step by Step

males in service--$x$ males in sales--$y$ females in service--$b$ females in sales--$c$ $x = 120 + b$ $c = y - 289$ $x = 2b - 303$ $y = 2c - 227$ $120 + b = 2b-303$ $120+b-b+303=2b-303-b+303$ $423 = b$ $c =y-289$ $y=2c-227$ $c=y-289$ $c+289=y-289+289$ $c+289 = y$ $2c-227 = c+289$ $2c-227-c+227=c+289-c+227$ $c = 516$ $x=120+b$ $x=120+423$ $x=543$ $y=c+289$ $y = 516+289$ $y=805$
