The total number of blue cards in the game = 48

Explanation:

Total number of blue and yellow cards = 84

let the blue card denote B and yellow card as Y

B = 4

Y = 3

Total number of cards in one round = 7

number of rounds possible = total number of cards / number of cards in one round

= 84/7

= 12

number of blue cards = 12 x 4

= 48

The total number of blue cards in the game = 48
