Afruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. a delivery of 8
large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 193 kilograms. a delivery of 2
large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 112 kilograms. how much does each type of box weigh?

The weight of large box x = 18.5 kg and weight of small box y= 15 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents large boxes and y represents small boxes

our equations will be:

8x + 3y = 193    (i)

2x + 5y = 112     (ii)

By solving above equations we can find value of x and y

Multiply eq (ii) with 4

8x + 20 y = 448

Now subtracting eq (ii) from eq (i),

8x + 3y = 193

8x + 20 y = 448

     -17 y = -255

          y = -255 / -17

          y = 15

Now substituting value of y in eq (i)

8x + 3y = 193

8x + 3(15) = 193

8x + 45 = 193

8x  = 193 - 45

x = 148 / 8

x = 18.5

answer: 21$

step-by-step explanation:

$42 / $14 = 3   (ratio 3: 1)

$7 x 3 = $21

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
