We can first add up the cards so we know how many we have in all:
16 + 16 + 18 = 50 cards

We can do this a little bit easier if we get the "16"-cards in one number total.

16 + 16 = 32


(32)/(50) = 32 x 2 =
(64)/(100)
50 x 2


(64)/(100) = 64 : 2 = 32 %
100
We did just divide the % of two types cards on 2, so we get the %-chance of 1 type card.

I am not quite sure, but I think that 32 % is the correct answer.
