Question

Consider a standard deck of playing cards, what percent of cards are face cards?

Answer 1

Step-by-step Explanation:

Each suits contains 3 face cards (king, queen and jack). Since there are four suits in a deck of cards, this means that there are 12 face cards in a deck. But since there 52 cards in a deck, that means the face cards make up 12/52 × 100% = 23.1% of the deck.
