x+y=124
38.5x+22.5y=3430
y=124-x
38.5x+22.5(124-x)=3430
38.5x+2790-22.5x=3430
16x=640
x=40
y=124-40
y=84
so, 40 full size, 84 collapsible

My numbers come out perfectly as his has decimals full size collapsable bags and 84 collapsable bags and 84 now substitute into the first equation 84 124 40 there were 40 there.
