Johnny found that the large ones totaled 30 more than 3 times the number of small ones.
\n" ); document.write( "L = 3S + 30
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of the number of small ones to large ones was 1 to 6.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S%2FL\"$ = $\"1%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "6S = L
\n" ); document.write( "replace L with (3S+30
\n" ); document.write( "6S = 3S + 30
\n" ); document.write( "6S - 3S = 30
\n" ); document.write( "3S = 30
\n" ); document.write( "S = 10 small one
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "3(10) + 30 = 60 large ones\r
