3
18 baseball cards
4 baseball cards
24 baseball cards
16 baseball cards

We know that Hunter can buy 36 baseball cards for $18, so let’s start by finding the price of 1 baseball card.

36 : 18

Divide both by 36 to get a single, or 1, baseball card.

36 / 36 = 1

18 / 36 = 0.5

The 0.5 is in terms of money, so it is equal to 0.50, or $0.50.

Troy has $9, so we must divide 9 by 0.50 to see how many cards he can get.

9 / 0.50 = 18.

So, Troy can buy 18 baseball cards with his $9.
