Jayvon Mcmillan · Answer 1

Duane has 192 cards and Tony has 16

Step-by-step explanation:

If we write an equation and make Tony's amount of cards x, then the equation would be : 12x+x=208

Therefore, 13x=208

and x will be 16

That means Tony has 16 cards.

Then since Duane has 12 times of tony's cards and tony has 16, 16*12 is Duane's amount of cards

Therefore Duane has 192 cards
