Question

Ryan has a collection of 216 baseball cards. He lets his brother have 1/3 of his collection and takes 27 cards to school to give his friends. How many

baseball cards remain in Ryan's collection?

Answer 1

Answer: 117

Explanation:

First you do 216 divide by 3 to know how many cards he gave his brother. So 216/3 is equal to 72. Then you add 72 to 27 to know the total amount of cards he loses, which is 99. Now you do 216-99 to get 117.

117 baseball cards remain in Ryan's collection.

Answer 2

117

Explanation:

216/3=72

216-72=144

144-26=117
