x ----> the cost of one small box of fruit

y ----> the cost of one large box of fruit

we know that

Ahmed

Ahmed sold 24 small boxes of fruit and 14 large boxes of fruit for a total of $337.00.

so

-----> equation A

Christy

Christy sold 21 small boxes of fruit and 16 large boxes of fruit for a total of $353.00

so

----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (5,15.5)

see the attached figure

therefore

The cost of one small box of fruit is $5.00 and the cost of one large box of fruit is $15.50
