A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of
Tema [17]

Answer:

Small box weighs 13.75 kg & large box weighs 15.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write 2 simultaneous equation and solve for weight of each box.

<em>Let weight of large box be l and small box be s.</em>

<em />

"<u>3 large boxes and  5 small boxes has a total weight of  116 kilograms</u>":

3l+5s=116

and

"<u>9 large boxes and  7 small boxes has a total weight of  238 kilograms</u>":

9l+7s=238

<em>Now we can solve for l in the 1st equation and put it into 2nd equation and get s:</em>

<em>3l+5s=116\\3l=116-5s\\l=\frac{116-5s}{3}</em>

<em>now,</em>

<em>9l+7s=238\\9(\frac{116-5s}{3})+7s=238\\3(116-5s)+7s=238\\348-15s+7s=238\\348-238=15s-7s\\110=8s\\s=\frac{110}{8}=13.75</em>

<em />

<em>now we plug in 13.75 into s into equation of l to find s:</em>

<em>l=\frac{116-5s}{3}\\l=\frac{116-5(13.75)}{3}\\l=15.75</em>

There are 127 lbs of fruits in the store: apples, oranges, and peaches. There are four times as many apples as there are peaches
Pepsi [2]
Let
x------> amount of pounds of apples
y------> amount of pounds of oranges
z-----> amount of pounds of peaches

we know that
x+y+z=127------> equation 1
x=4z-----> equation 2
y=7+z----> equation 3

substitute  equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
x+y+z=127----> (4z)+(7+z)+z=127---> 6z=127-7---> 6z=120----> z=20 lb
x=4z---> x=4*20----> x=80 lb
y=7+z----> y=7+20---> y=27 lb

 amount of pounds of apples----> 80 lb
amount of pounds of oranges----> 27 lb
amount of pounds of peaches---> 20 lb
