For a card trick, barry is using 27 cards from a deck. if each suit he uses has 6 numbered cards and c face cards, which expression shows how many suits he is using?
a. 27 ÷ (6 + c)
b. 27 × 6 + c
c. 27 × (6 + c)
d. 27 ÷ 6 + c

A. 27 / (6+c)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume Barry is spreading the cards among the suits, then he needs enough suits to hold the total of 27 cards he has. Thus, we need to divide the total number of cards by the total number of cards he puts in each suit, giving the option A as the correct answer.

I hope that works for you!
