Cards Distribution A56B30
1. **State the problem:**
A teacher gave each student 4 purple cards and 3 white cards. The total number of cards given out is 91. We need to find:
a. The number of students in the class.
b. The total number of purple cards given out.
c. The total number of white cards given out.
2. **Set up the equation:**
Let $x$ be the number of students.
Each student gets 4 purple cards and 3 white cards, so total cards per student = $4 + 3 = 7$.
3. **Write the total cards equation:**
$$7x = 91$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
Divide both sides by 7:
$$x = \frac{91}{7} = 13$$
So, there are 13 students in the class.
5. **Calculate purple cards given out:**
Each student gets 4 purple cards, so total purple cards:
$$4 \times 13 = 52$$
6. **Calculate white cards given out:**
Each student gets 3 white cards, so total white cards:
$$3 \times 13 = 39$$
**Final answers:**
- Number of students: 13
- Purple cards given out: 52
- White cards given out: 39
