How many cards are in a deck of cards that has one diamond removed?

I don't know much about cards, but I think there are 52 in total....?

anonymous · Answer

it would be 12 out of 51, or A because because in a standard card deck there is 52 cards.  if one is drawn, it would be 51 cards.   there are 13 cards for each shape, diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs.  taking out one diamond makes it 12 cards for diamonds. does this make sense?
