Not complete. What more information?

Only enough information to do this:
x and y quantities of each size candle, expect to be whole numbers
C and G price of each small and large candle

system%28x%2By=28%2CCx%2BGy=144%29
If the unknown quantities are the x and y but known or given are C and G
then you can solve for x and y.
You could pick for integer values, but....
