Answer:

125 cards

Explanation:

I did this by dividing 100 by 4, since there is 100 percent in total. This gets 25. I then multiplied 25 by 5, because 4 percent = 5 cards. Basically for every 4 percent for every five cards. take it as the amount of 4 percents, there are the same amount of 5 cards.

Hope this helps :)
