Answer 1

58% of his total collection are from the National league.
Nathan has 702 cards in his collection.
So...58% of 702 are from the National League...

58% is 58 out of 100
702 rounds to 700

since 700 is 100 * 7, we will multiply 58 * 7 = 406....so about 406 cards are players from the national League

Answer 2

Answer: 406

Explanation:

Given : In Nathan’s baseball card collection, 58% of the cards are players form the national league.

We can write 58% as 0.58 [To convert percent into decimal we divide it by 100]

If he has 702 baseball cards, then the number of baseball cards are players that form the national league will be :

`0.58*702\approx 0.58*700=406`

Hence, about 406 baseball cards are players form the national league.
