Question

A store sells trading cards. The store has 1,173 baseball cards,

592 basketball cards, and 445 football cards and wants to put all
of them in albums. Each page in the albums holds 15 cards. How
many pages are needed to hold all of the cards?

Answer 1

To find out how many pages are needed to hold all the cards, you can sum up the total number of cards and then divide by the number of cards a page can hold.

Total number of cards: \(1,173 + 592 + 445 = 2,210\) cards

Number of cards per page: \(15\) cards

Now, divide the total number of cards by the number of cards per page:

\(\frac{2,210}{15} \approx 147.33\)

Since you can't have a fraction of a page, you would need \(148\) pages to hold all the cards.
