Yes, the multiplication sentence to find out how many cards they have in total would be:

(4 cards for Marlon) + (4 cards for Lisa) + (3 cards for Sam) = Total number of cards they have.

To find the answer, you need to add up the number of cards each person has. You add Marlon's 4 cards to Lisa's 4 cards and then add Sam's 3 cards to get the total number of cards they have in all.

So, the multiplication sentence to find the answer is:
4 + 4 + 3 = Total number of cards they have.

To solve this specific multiplication sentence, you add 4 + 4 to get 8, and then add 8 + 3 to get the final answer:
8 + 3 = 11

Therefore, they have a total of 11 cards.
