Question

Isaac sold 58 of his baseball cards at a collectors show. If this represented 14.5% of his total collection, how many baseball cards did Isaac have before he sold his cards?

Answer 1

Answer:

$400\ cards$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> amount of baseball cards Isaac had before he sold

we know that

$14.5\%=14.5/100=0.145$

so

$0.145x=58$

Solve for x

$x=58/0.145$

$x=400\ cards$
