    Large boxes = 40 lbs.

    Small boxes = 15 lbs.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    L = Large Box

    S = Small Box

    I started by making the equations, L + S = 55 and 60L + 50S = 3150. I made the first equation L = 55 - S and substituted that in for L in 60L + 50S = 3150. After finding S, I plugged that back into L + S = 55 and got the answers.
