7 small Decoration Christmas Balls and 2 Large Balls cost $24.xx
4 small balls and 3 large balls cost $23.xx. What is the cost of each item?

Let's define two variables for the cost of each type of ball:

- Let $ x $ be the cost of one small Christmas ball.
- Let $ y $ be the cost of one large Christmas ball.

From the problem, we can form two equations based on the given information:

1. $ 7x + 2y = 24.xx $ (cost of 7 small balls and 2 large balls)
2. $ 4x + 3y = 23.xx $ (cost of 4 small balls and 3 large balls)

The missing decimal parts, "xx", need clarification. If you'd like, I can solve this using placeholders for now, or we can adjust the equations once we know the exact values.

Would you like me to proceed this way, or would you prefer to provide the missing decimal parts?
