Answer 1

Answer:1650

Explanation:

1% = 16.5

Multiply 16.5x100

100%=1650

Answer 2

165 Cards

Explanation:

We are expected to solve for the total amount of cards sold, 20% of the total card is 33 card, so let the total cards be x, and proceed to solve for x as follows

Step one:

Given data

let the number of cards be x

33 cards are given as 20% of x that is

20% of x= 33

Step two:

solve for x

20/100*x=33

0.2x=33

divide both sides by 0.2 we have

x=33/0.2

x=165 cards

So the total number of cards sold is 165 cards.
