Answer:
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem may be solved by a system of equations:
I am going to say that:
x is the number of small boxes used
y is the number of large boxes used
There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped
This means that y = 2x
Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.
This means that 45x + 80y =1435
So we have to solve the following system:
y=2x
45x + 80y =1435
45x + 80 (2x) = 1435
205x = 1435
x= 1435/205
x=7
y=2x= 2(7) = 14
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
1 cubic foot has 7.48 gallons of water.
Volume of water tank = 234 cubic feet
So, the number of gallons are = 
Hence, the water tank can hold 1750.32 gallons of water.
