    There are 52 cards in the deck.

    There are 4 tens in the deck.

    So there are 4 out of 52 cards.

    The words "out of" means divide. "Per" also means divide ("4 per 52 cards"). The word "of" means multiply ("15% of the cards")



    There are a lot of people who think that they are "really bad" at math. Most of them simply don't think about the problems. Math is quite easy if you try.
