Let L and S represent the weights of large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to two equations:
.. 7L +9S = 273
.. 5L +3S = 141

You can solve these equations various ways. Using "elimination", we can multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation.
.. 3(5L +3S) -(7L +9S) = 3(141) -(273)
.. 8L = 150
.. L = 150/8 = 18.75
Then we can substitute into either equation to find S. Let's use the second one.
.. 5*18.75 +3S = 141
.. S = (141 -93.75)/3 = 15.75

A large box weighs 18.75 kg; a small box weighs 15.75 kg.

There were 5 of the 15 in the simulation that used a coupon.  To find the probability you just divide 5 by 15

No. It means that you should find a integer to divide 32 47 80 , and the equals must be integer also. But the 3 numbers have no common factor
