Why do you think it's important that we always label our units on word problems

Word problems describe a situation where something mathematical can be found out about a system. Often, it's a real-world measurement (like numbers of apples, ages of people, inches, feet, etc.) and usually have more than one object being discussed. 
The answer must be expressed in specific units so the value cannot be confused with other measurements discussed in the problem.

The postal service offers flat-rate shipping for priority mail in special boxes. Today, Kylie shipped 4 small boxes and 4 medium
babymother [125]

Answer:

Shipping Cost of small boxes = x = $7

Shipping Cost of large boxes = y = $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

Shipping Cost of small boxes = x

Shipping Cost of large boxes = y

The postal service offers flat-rate shipping for priority mail in special boxes.

Today, Kylie shipped 4 small boxes and 4 medium boxes, which cost her $88 to ship.

4x + 4y = 88...... Equation 1

Meanwhile, Trevor shipped 9 small boxes and 4 medium boxes, and paid $123.

9x + 4y = 123 ..... Equation 2

Combining both Equations

4x + 4y = 88...... Equation 1

9x + 4y = 123 ..... Equation 2

Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2

5x = 35

x = 35/5

x = $7

Solving for y using Equation 1

4x + 4y = 88...... Equation 1

4($7) + 4y = 88

28 + 4y = 88

4y = 88 - 28

4y = 60

y = 60/4

y = $15

Shipping Cost of small boxes = x = $7

Shipping Cost of large boxes = y = $15
