A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 2 large boxes and 6 small boxes has a t
otal weight of 128 kilograms. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 137 kilograms. How much does each type of box weigh?
1 answer:
Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms and small box weighs 15.25 kilograms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Large box = x
Small box = y
According to given statement;
2x+6y=128 Eqn 1
5x+3y=137 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 2 by 2;

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

Dividing both sides by 8

Putting x=18.25 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 6

Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms and small box weighs 15.25 kilograms.

84+8x=15x+140
Subtract 84 from both sides
8x=15x+56
Subtract 15x from both sides
-7x=56
Divide both sides by -7
x=-8
24 x .25 is 6, so 24 - 6 is $18.00.
