A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box of paper weighs 25 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 50 pounds. A total of 22 boxes of papers were shipped weighing 925 pounds altogether. Write a system or equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped. Defined variables and use the right to system.

Answer

s=amount of small boxes

l=amount of large boxes

25s+50l=925

s+l=22

Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x

Given that area is 50 ft², we plug in the value to solve for x:
x (2x) = 50
2x² = 50
x² = 25
x = √25
x = 5

Now that we know x, we find the length and the width:
Width = x = 5
Length = 2x = 2 x 5 = 10

With the length and the width, we find the perimeter of the fence:
Perimeter = 2( 5 + 10) = 30 feet

Finally, we calculate the cost of the fence:
I ft = $3
30 ft = $3 x 30 = $90

The total price of the fencing is $90.
