\n" ); document.write( " After the two donations, Chris had 10 toys left. How many did Chris originally collect?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x the original number of toys
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x - $\"3%2F4\"$ x = $\"1%2F4\"$ x after the first donation
\n" ); document.write( "then after 1/3 of the remainder is donated you have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ * $\"1%2F4\"$ x = 10
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F12\"$ x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 12*10
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 120
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60 toys originally
