Answer: 42

Step-by-step explanation: Anything in a percentage means that the number is divided by 100. For example, 25% is simply 25/100, or in this case, 15% is 15/100.

All you have to do is divide 15/100 and multiply that number by the number of baseball cards which would be 280. The answer you get should be 42.
