Given:

Joey had 26 game cards.

His friend Richard gave him some more, and now Joey has 100 cards.

To find:

How many cards did Richard give to Joey?

Solution:

Let x be the number of cards that Richard give to Joey.

Joey had 26 game cards.

Now, the total cards joey has
=26+x

Joey has total 100 cards.


26+x=100


x=100-26


x=74

Therefore, Richard gave him 74 cards.
