Answer:

  • large: 40 lbs
  • small: 20 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations can be written for the weights of the boxes based on the relationships given in the problem statement. One equation will be for the total weight of 1 large and 1 small box; the other will be for the total weight of 70 large and 60 small boxes.

Let L and S represent the weights of Large and Small boxes, respectively. The system of equations is ...

  L + S = 60 . . . . . . combined weight is 60 lbs

  70L +60S = 4000 . . . . weight of boxes in the truck

__

We can solve this by substituting for s in the second equation.

  70L +60(60 -L) = 4000

  10L = 400 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3600, simplify

  L = 40

  S = 60 -L = 20

A large box weighs 40 pounds; a small box weighs 20 pounds.

Norma-Jean [14]

The opening balance of the March billing cycle for Bernice's credit card = $2374.

Amount of new purchase = $200 on the 20th of March.

She did purchase only of $200 in that March month.

We are given that she didn't do any payment.

So, still she has balance $2374 till end of the month.

Therefore, her average daily balance is $2374.00

So, the correct option is  B. $2374.00.
