Answer:

The small box is 125g and the larger is 375g.

Explanation:

Let x be the weight of one box, if the larger box is 3 times this then:

3x + x = 500

4x = 500

Divide both sides by 4:

4x ÷ 4 = 500 ÷ 4

x = 125

Meaning, the smaller box is 125g. The larger box is 3* this so:

3 * 125 = 375.

The small box is 125g and the larger is 375g.

Hope this helps!
