He lets his brother have 1/3 of his collection and takes 27 cards to school to give his friends. How many baseball cards remain in Ryan's collection? 127 cards 90 cards 117 cards 126

Answer 1

117 cards

Explanation:

Total number of cards in the collection of Ryan = 216

Number of cards given to his brother = ⅓ of 216 = ⅓ × 216 = 216/3 = 72

Number of cards given to his friend at school = 27

Number of baseball cards that Ryan has remaining = 216 - (72 + 27)

= 216 - 99

Number of cards remaining = 117 cards
