A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 88 kilograms. A delivery of 12 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 235 kilograms. How much does each type of box weigh?

Step-by-step explanation:

We need a system of equations here. The first equation is that 3L boxes + 5s boxes (L = large and s = small) = 88 kg so

3L + 5s = 88

12L + 2s = 235 according to the other information given.

Solve the first equation for either L or s. I'll solve for L, just because:

3L = 88 - 5s and

L = and sub that into the second equation for L:

and if you distribute the 12 into the parenthesis you'll simplify it down a bit to

352 - 20s + 2s = 235 and combine like terms:

-18s= -117 so

s = 6.5 kg and plug that in to solve for L:

L = and

L = 18.5 kg
