To find the number of baseball cards that feature players from teams other than the New York Yankees, we need to subtract the number of cards that feature players from the New York Yankees from the total number of cards Jason has.
First, we need to find the number of cards that feature players from the New York Yankees:
40% of 280 cards = (40/100) * 280 cards = 112 cards
Now, we subtract 112 cards (New York Yankees cards) from the total number of cards Jason has:
280 cards - 112 cards = 168 cards
Therefore, Jason has 168 cards that feature players from teams other than the New York Yankees.
So, the correct option is C. 168 cards
To find out how many baseball cards Jason has that feature players from teams other than the New York Yankees, we first need to find how many cards feature players from the New York Yankees.
We know that 40% of Jason's cards feature players from the New York Yankees. To find this amount, we can calculate:
