Question

A delivery truck is coming from San Antonio with avocados. The avocados are boxed in 2 different boxes small and large. The weight of both small and large boxes is 75lb. If the truck has 70 large boxes and 55 small boxes with a total weight of 4800 lb. How much does each type of box weigh?​

Answer 1

First we define the variables:
x= weight of a large box
y = weight of a small box
We write the system of equations:
X + y = 95
50x + 65y = 5275
The solution to the system of equations by the graphic method is:
x = 60
y = 35
Note: see attached image.
Answer:
each type of box weigh:
weight of a large box = 60 pounds
weight of a small box = 35 pounds
