Mofor and Shanice are selling fruit for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy small boxes of oranges and large boxes of oranges. Mofor sold 12 small boxes of oranges and 3 large boxes of oranges for a total of $96. Shanice sold 6 small boxes of oranges and 6 large boxes of oranges for a total of $84. Find the cost each of one small box of oranges and one large box of oranges.​

Answer:

$6 = cost of small box

$8 = cost of large box

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = cost of small box

     l  = cost of large box

(1)    12s + 3l = 96            (2)     6s + 6l = 84

    Multiply by -2                     -24s - 6l = -192

                                                -18s   = - 108

                                                     s = $6 = cost of small box

      12(6) + 3l = 96

         72 + 3l = 96

                 3l = 24

                   l = $8 = cost of large box
