The factory makes 27 dresses.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It produces three dresses for every five shirts.
  • Let x be the sets of five shirts produced.
  • Therefore, x sets of three dresses are produced along with five shirts.

Total garments = number of shirts + number of dresses

⇒ 72 = 5x + 3x

⇒ 72 = 8x

⇒ x = 9

The number of dresses is 3x = 3(9) = 27 dresses.
