    126

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the total number of postcard with stamp on it = x

    Out of 350 postcards, x has stamp on it.

    Out of 75 postcards, 27 has stamp on it.

    Expressing these as a ratio:

    350:x=75:27

    350/x=75/27

    Cross multiply

    75x=350*27

    x = (350*27) / 75

    x = 126

    Therefore, the the total number of postcards in the box with stamps on them is 126.
