Answer:

$6 = cost of small box

$8 = cost of large box

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = cost of small box

l = cost of large box

(1) 12s + 3l = 96 (2) 6s + 6l = 84

Multiply by -2 -24s - 6l = -192

-18s = - 108

s = $6 = cost of small box

12(6) + 3l = 96

72 + 3l = 96

3l = 24

l = $8 = cost of large box
