Ron puts all his nails into 2 large boxes and 6 small boxes. There are 20 more nails in one large box than one small box. The number of nails in the 2 large boxes was 1/2 as many as the number of nails in the 6 small boxes. Find the number of nails in 1 large box.

Answer 1

1L = 1 large box
1S = 1 small box
1L = 1S + 20
2L = 2S + 40
6S = 2 x (2S + 40)
6S = 4S + 80
2S = 80
1S = 40
1L = 40 + 20 = 60
One large box has 60 nails

Answer 2

60 I hope this helps am I right anyone?
