I think you mean she sold 16 boxes, since she only had three different types.
t+h+c = 16
40t+50h+60c = 800
That's not enough to completely specify a solution, but it will get you to
t = c
h = 2(8-c)
So, clearly c<=8. If we start listing the possibilities, we get
c,t h
8 8 0
7 7 2
6 6 4
5 5 6
4 4 8
3 3 10
2 2 12
1 1 14
They all sell for a total of $8.00
