Nicole has 144 role-playing cards and $9 to buy more cards. She and her friends buy another set that costs $27. They evenly split the cost and the cards in the set. How many cards does Nicole have after she buys part of a set with her friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nicole starts with 144 role-playing cards<\/strong> and has $9<\/strong> to buy more. She and her friends purchase another set that costs $27<\/strong>. Since they evenly split<\/strong> both the cost and the cards, we need to determine Nicole\u2019s share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each person contributes equally. Since Nicole has $9<\/strong> and the total cost is $27<\/strong>, we divide: Since the set is also evenly divided among the three friends, each person gets: Nicole originally had 144 cards<\/strong>. After receiving 9 more<\/strong>, her new total is: Nicole has 153 role-playing cards after buying part of the set with her friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, I’ll generate an image representing a collection of role-playing cards, showing Nicole’s growing collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s an image of a collection of role-playing cards, featuring colorful fantasy-themed illustrations of knights, dragons, wizards, and magical creatures.

[
\\frac{27}{9} = 3
]
This means three people<\/strong> are sharing the set.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2: Determine How Many Cards Each Person Receives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
[
\\frac{\\text{Total cards in the set}}{3}
]
Let\u2019s assume the number of cards in the set is also 27<\/strong> (since many role-playing card sets are priced at $1 per card).
[
\\frac{27}{3} = 9
]
So, Nicole receives 9 additional cards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3: Calculate Nicole\u2019s New Total<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
[
144 + 9 = 153
]<\/p>\n\n\n\nFinal Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
