Answer:

Blake's total number of cards now: 1.25b

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cards now would be equal to 25% increase from b.

<em>This means we INCREASE b by 25% OF b.</em>

<em />

What is 25% of b???

$\frac{25}{100}*b\\=0.25b$

Now we need to ADD this to original amount, b.

So, $b+0.25b=1.25b$
