Given :

Volume of small box is 7 cubic feet

Volume of large box is 13 cubic feet

Volume of all box is 165 cubic feet

There are twice large boxes as many as small boxes

To find : Number of boxes of each type

Solution :

Let Number of small boxes be x

then , Number of large boxes will be 2x

Total Volume covered by small box will be  7x

Total Volume covered by large box will be 26x

Total volumes contains volume covered by small boxes and volume covered by large boxes

Total volume shipped = 165

7x + 26x  = 165

33x = 165

x = 5

So, No. of small boxes are 5

& No. of large boxes are 10
