There are 144 cards in 12 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct Proportion

The number of trading cards is directly proportional to the number of packages. We are given there are 84 cards in 7 packages.

Let x= number of packages, y=total number of cards

The direct variation equation is:

y = m.x

Where m is a constant we need to find by using the given data: y=84 when x=7, thus

84 = 7m

Dividing by 7:

m = 84/7=12

The equation is:

y = 12x

For x = 12 packages:

y = 12*12 = 144 cards

The answer is:

There are 144 cards in 12 packages

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
