Number of hockey cards in Nick's album = 700

Number of hockey cards in each page of the album = 7

Number of pages in Nick's album :


= \tt (700)/(7)


= \tt100

▪︎Thus, the number of pages in Nick's album = 100

Percentage of album that is empty = 72%

Number of pages in the album that is empty :


= \tt 72\% \: \: of \: \: 100


=\tt (72)/(100) * 100


= \tt (72 *100)/(100)


=\tt (7200)/(100)


\color{plum}= \tt72 \: pages

▪︎Thus, the number of empty pages in the album = 72

Number of pages in the album that are filled :


=\tt 100 - 72


\color{plum} = \tt28 \: pages

▪︎Therefore :

Number of pages filled with hockey cards = 28
