We are to find the total number of cherry tomatoes that Jorge need.

Since each large salad needs 10 cherry tomatoes, so the number of cherry tomatoes needed for 6 large salads is given by

[tex]CT_l=6\times10=60.[/tex]

Similarly, each small salad needs 6 cherry tomatoes, so the number of cherry tomatoes needed for 4 small salads is given by

[tex]CT_s=4\times6=24.[/tex]

Therefore, the total number of cherry tomatoes that Jorge need will be

[tex]CT_l+CT_s=60+24=84.[/tex]

Thus, Jorge needs a total of 84 cherry tomatoes.
