Answer 1

85%

Explanation:

Evan had 120 baseball cards. He gave 18 of them to his friend and the rest to his brother.

The number of baseball cards he gave to his brother is :

120 - 18 = 102 baseball cards

The percent of the baseball cards he gave to his brother is calculated as:

(Number of baseball cards given to his brother/ Total number of baseball cards) × 100

= 102/120 × 100

= 85%

The percent of baseball cards Evans gave his brother is 85%
