Answer:

The number of boxes of candy sold are:

40 small boxes and

12 large boxes of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small boxes sold = x

Let the number of large boxes sold = y

we are given the following information:

x + y = 52 - - - - - -(1)   (Chara sold 52 boxes of candy)

3.5(y) + 1.75(x) = 112 - - - - - - (2)   (Chara sold $112 worth of candy)

From the two equations above, x and y can be solved as follows:

x + y = 52   - - - - - -(1)

x = 52 - y    - - - - - - (3)

putting the value if x in equation (3) to replace x in equation (2);

3.5(y) + 1.75(x) = 112 - - - - - - (2)

3.5(y) + 1.75(52 - y) = 112

3.5y + 91 - 1.75y = 112

(3.5y - 1.75y) + 91 = 112

1.75y = 112 - 91 = 21

y = 21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

y = 12

Now, let us put the value of y into equation (3)

x = 52 - y    - - - - - - (3)

x = 52 - 12 = 40

Therefore,

40 small boxes and 12 large boxes of candy were sold.

The Garcia family started the day with 2 gallons of milk. They drank 111 quart of milk for breakfast and 3 pints for lunch.
irina1246 [14]
3 pints

There are 8 pints of milk in 1 gallon. There is also 4 quarts in 1 gallon. So each quart is 2 pints.
After breakfast they had 3 quarts of the original gallon left since 4 - 1 = 3.
3 quarts is the same as 6 pints. They drank 3 pints at lunch. This means 6 - 3 = 3. After lunch, there were 3 pints left.
