Answer provided by our tutors
let
s = the price of a small box
l = the price of a large box
you sell 4 small boxes and 7 large boxes of candy for a total of $43
4s + 7l = 43
your sister sells 5 small boxes and 4 large boxes for a total of $30
5s + 4l = 30
by solving the system of equations
4s + 7l = 43
5s + 4l = 30
we find
s = $2
l = $5
