How many pips in a deck of cards?

Answer 1

348

the number of pips on cards 2-10= number on the card plus two on opposite corners

(4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12)= 72

J, Q, and K each have 4 (2+ 2 in the corners)= 12

A has 3 (1+ 2 in the corners)= 3

pips in each suit= (72+12+3)= 87

multiply by four suits

total pips= 87*4= 348
