Answer 1

Answer:

Number of small boxes shipped = 7

Number of large boxes shipped = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small boxes = s

And the number of large boxes = l

Weight of small box = 25 pound

Weight of the large box = 50 pounds

Total weight of the shipment = 925 pounds

Therefore, equation for the weight of shipment will be,

25s + 50l = 925

s + 2l = 37 ----- (1)

Total number of boxes shipped = 22 boxes

Therefore, equation will be,

s + l = 22 ------(2)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1)

(s + 2l) - (s + l) = 37 -22

l = 15

From equation (2)

s + 15 = 22

s = 7

Therefore, number of small boxes shipped = 7

Number of large boxes shipped = 15
