Thus Caitlyn has 44 cards and Bob has 37 cards.
Option C is the correct answer.
Given that the total number of cards is 81. Also, Bob has 7 fewer cards than Caitlyn.
Let us consider that Caitlyn has x number of cards. Then as per the given condition, Bob has x-7 number of cards. We can write this in equation form as given below.
[tex]x+x-7=81[/tex]
Simplifying the above equation as,
[tex]2x-7=81[/tex]
[tex]x = \dfrac {81+7}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x = 44[/tex]
[tex]x-7 = 44-7 = 37[/tex]
Thus Caitlyn has 44 cards. And Bob has 37 cards. Hence we can conclude that option C is the correct answer.
