Take to total number of people attending and subtract the number of adults. The remainder are the children
2,451 - 745 = 1,706
Let's let the weight of a large box be L, and the weight of a small box be S.
We know that 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes is 120kg, so:
5L + 3S = 120
We also know that 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes is 234kg, so:
7L + 9S = 234
You can multiply the first equation by 3 to get:
15L + 9S = 360
See how now both equations have 9S? We can now subtract one from the other:
(15L+9S) - (7L+9S) = 360-234
8L = 126
L = 15.75
Now sub this value back into an equation:
(5x15.75) + 3S = 120
3S = 41.25
S = 13.75
Double check these values
(7x15.75) + (9x13.75)
= 110.25 + 123.75
=234, which is consistent with above.
So a large box is 15.75kg, and a small box is 13.75kg.
Hope this helped

The total number of yards is 360 yards
<h3>How to determine the number of yards?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Number of sheets = 8
Yard per sheet = 45 yards
The total number of yards is calculated as:
Total number of yards = Number of sheets * Yard per sheet
Substitute the known values in the above equation
Total number of yards = 8 * 45 yards
Evaluate the product
Total number of yards = 360 yards
Hence, the total number of yards is 360 yards
