if 1 large & 1 small parcel damage, the total change in amount collected is
25 + 15 + 2x50 = 140

700 / 140 = 5 gives no. of sets damaged
(not 700 / 50)

since each set is 1 large + 1 small
so no. of large parcels damaged is 5.

correct answer should be 85 large parcels delivered safely.

can check by putting the answers back into the question to verify that all the conditions are satisfied.
