Given :
Phil sold 11 small boxes and 10 large boxes of tangerines for a total of $146.
Nick sold 5 small boxes of tangerines and 12 large boxes of tangerines for a total of $126.
To Find :
The price of each small box and large box.
Solution :
Let, price of small box is x and large box is y.
Mathematical expression of given equations :
11x + 10y = 146 ...1)
5x + 12y = 126 ...2)
Solving above equation, we get :
x = 6 and y = 8
Therefore, price of small and large box is $6 and $8 respectively.
Hence, this is the required solution.
