math problem

Question

in a typical deck of 52 playing cards, the 4 of hearts card has 6 hearts on it, not 4: 4 hearts in the center of the card and 1 heart in both the upper left coner and the lower right conor. how many total hearts would you see when looking at the ace of hearts card along with cards 2 of hearts through the 10 of hearts?

Answer 1

(The "2 * 10" refers to the two hearts in the cards' corners)

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + (2 * 10)

2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 10 + 10 + (2 * 10)

3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 10 + 10 + 10 + (2 * 10)

4 + 5 + 6 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + (2 * 10)

5 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + (2 * 10)

5 + (5 * 10) + (2 * 10)

5 + 50 + 20

5 + 70 = 75 hearts
