Answer:Jenny has 15 favorite toys

Explanation:

Jenny has 3 times as many new toys as she has favorite toys means that the ratio of new toys to favorite toys can be written as 3:1

Total Ratio=3+1=4

Since the total number of toys is given as 60

Amount of Favorite toys = ratio of favorite toys / Total ratio x Total number of toys

Amount of Favorite toys = 1/4 x 60=15

Therefore Jenny has 15 favorite toys.
