- There are 546 yellow cards in the box. How many cards are there in the box altogether?
(a)
Percentage of cards that are yellow
= 100% - 40% - 18%
= 42%
Fraction of cards that are yellow
=
42100 =
2150 (b)
Number of yellow cards = 21 u
21 u = 546
1 u = 546 ÷ 21 = 26
Total number of cards
= 50 u
= 50 x 26
= 1300
