Question

Jay has an album that holds 500 hockey cards. Each page of the album holds 5 hockey cards. If 17​% of the album is​ empty, how many pages are filled with hockey cards​?

Answer 1

Answer: 83

Step-by-step explanation: 17% of 500 is 85. If 17% is empty, that means that you'd take away that 15%. 500 - 85 = 415. If each page holds 5 cards, we need to split those cards up between the pages. 415/5 = 83, so 83 pages will be used.
