Football is selling boxes of candy as a fundraiser. Ms. South ordered three small boxes and two large box fora total of $36. Chris ordered four small boxes and one large boxes for a total of $30. What is the price of each type of box?

The price of each small box is $4.8  and the price of each large box is $10.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Price of each small box, y= price of each large box.

As per given,

3x+2y= 36  ...(i)

4x+y= 30  ...(ii)

Multiplying 2 to (ii), we get

8x+2y =60...(iii)

Subtract (i) from (iii), we get

5x= 24

x= 4.8

From (ii)

4(4.8)+y= 30

19.2+y=30

y= 10.8

Hence, the price of each small box is $4.8  and the price of each large box is $10.8.
