ID: A 6. ANS: The total weight of the boxes of cheddar cheese was 330 pounds. Sample explanation: Let c be the number of boxes of cheddar cheese. Weight per box (lb) Number of boxes = T otal weight (lb) Cheddar 3 c 3c Swiss 2 c 20 2(c 20) Since the total weight of the shipment was 510 lb: 510 = 3c + 2(c 20) 510 = 3c + 2c 40 510 = 5c 40 550 = 5c 110 = c There were 110 boxes of cheddar cheese in the shipment. Since each box of cheddar cheese weighs 3 lb, the total weight of the boxes of cheddar cheese was 110 boxes 3 lb/box = 330 lb.
