David sells small, medium, and large bags of mints at his store. A medium bag contains three times as many mints as a small bag. A large bag contains five times as many mints as a medium bag • There are 3,510 mints in a large bag. How many mints are in a small bag?

if you represent small as s, medium as m, and large as l, you can write the equations as 3s=m 5m=l and 3510=l. We can then substitute 3510 for l and get 5m=3510 divide by 5 and get m=702 put that in the other equation and get 3s=702 divide by 3 and get s=234
