Answer: The truck is carrying 55 large boxes and 60 small boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of large boxes

Therefore,

The number of small boxes = 115 - x

[tex]\therefore[/tex] According to the question

60x + 25(105 -x) = 4550

60x + 2625 - 25x = 4550

35x = 4550 - 2625

35x = 1925

x = 55

Number of large boxes = x = 55

Number of small boxes = 115 - 55 = 60
