To find out how many cards Zachary sold, we can calculate 2% of the total number of cards sold for Mother's Day, which is 550.
First, we convert 2% to a decimal by dividing by 100:
\[
2\% = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02
\]
Next, we multiply the total number of cards by the decimal value of 2%:
\[
\text{Cards sold by Zachary} = 550 \times 0.02
\]
Now, performing the multiplication:
\[
550 \times 0.02 = 11
\]
Therefore, Zachary sold **11 cards**.
