OpenStudy (anonymous):

it states that s represents the amount of small boxes she is using and they weigh 15 lbs so 15 times s equals the total weight of the small boxes. m represents the amount of medium boxes and the weigh 25 lbs so 25 times m equals the weight of the medium boxes. you add those together to get the total weight
