Answer: 1595 jumbo size

Explanation:

From the question, let regular size toys be represented by a.

We are informed that the company made 11 times as many regular size toys as jumbo size toys. This means that:

Jumbo side toys = 11 × a = 11a

To calculate the number of jumbo size dog toys they make goes thus:

11a + a = 1740

12a = 1740

a = 1740/12

a = 145

Jumbo size toys = 11a

= 11 × 145

= 1595
