You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +n+ = number of surveys Sarah filled out
+%283%2F4%29%2An+ = number of surveys Anthony filled out
---------------------------------------------------
+n+%2B+%283%2F4%29%2An+=+35+
+%287%2F4%29%2An+=+35+
+n+=+%284%2F7%29%2A35+
+n+=+20+
and
+%283%2F4%29%2An+=+%283%2F4%29%2A20+
+%283%2F4%29%2An+=+15+
Anthony filled out 15 surveys
