Question

Punkaj purchased 14 new baseball card for his collection.This increased the size of collection by 35%.How many cards does Punkaj have now?

Answer 1

Let 'x' be the number of cards pankaj already had before purchasing new 14 cards.

(35%) of x = 14

(35/100) × x = 14

x = (14 × 100)/35

x = 40

Number of cards pankaj have now = x + 14

= 40 + 14

= 54

Hence, 54 is the correct answer!
