To find out how many cards are in each filled sheet, we can start by calculating the total number of cards in all the filled sheets.
Maurice has filled 7 sheets, and if each filled sheet has the same number of cards, we can represent the number of cards in each filled sheet as "x".
Therefore, the total number of cards in the filled sheets is 7x.
We also know that Maurice has 130 trading cards in total. Since he filled 7 sheets, we can set up an equation:
Total number of cards = Number of cards in the filled sheets
130 = 7x
To find "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 7:
130/7 = x
Simplifying the left side:
18.57 ≈ x
Since we cannot have a fraction of a card, we need to round the value of "x" to the nearest whole number. Therefore, each filled sheet will have approximately 19 cards.

Divide 130 by 7. What did you get? Did you have a remainder of 4?
