Question

Gerry has 40 sports trading cards. Of those cards, 1/4 of them are baseball cards. 1/10 of them are football cards. And the rest are basketball cards. How many more basketball cards than baseball cards does Gerry have?

Answer 1

16 more basketball cards than baseball cards

Explanation:

1/4 of 40 = 10 baseball cards

1/10 of 40 = 4 football cards

14 total cards that are not basketball

40 - 14 = 26 basketball cards

26 - 10 = 16 more basketball cards than baseball cards
