Red toys = 40%, Green toys = 60%
Large toys = 50%, small toys = 50%
Small red toys = 10% implies Large Red toys = 30%, Small Green Toys = 40%, and Large Green Toys = 20%
Green and Large toys = 40
Let the number of toys = T and 40 toys are green and large.
Then 20% of T = 40 implies T = 200
30% toys are Red and Large, so 30% of 200 = 60

The correct answer is B.

Sorry, that was a typo, its B. Thanks for pointing that. Edited the previous post.

We can let the total number of toys = n.

So 0.4n toys are red and 0.6n are green.

0.5n are large and 0.5n are small.

0.1n are red and small.

40 toys are green and large.

We can create the equation:

Total = large + green - both green and large + neither green nor large

n = 0.5n + 0.6n - 40 + 0.1n

n = -40 + 1.2n

40 = 0.2n

200 = n

Since 0.4n of the toys are red and 0.1n of the toys are red and small, then 0.3n of the toys must be red and large. Since n = 200, the number of toys that are red and large is 0.3(200) = 60.

(Note: Alternatively, we can say:

Since 0.5n of the toys are large and 40 toys are green and large, then 0.5n - 40 toys must be red and large. Since n = 200, the number of toys that are red and large is 0.5(200) - 40 = 60.)

Answer: B
