The ratio of red collars to black collars sold at one store is 9 to 10. In one month, 30 black collars were sold. Is 57 a reasonable number for the total number of red and black collars sold that month? Explain.

Well, yes. If red:black=10 and black=30, then supposedly red=27, with a total of 57.

The total number of collars sold, combining both red and black collars, is 57. This is calculated from the known sales of 30 black collars and the established ratio, which gives us 27 red collars. Therefore, 57 is a reasonable number for the total sold.
