Let \( x \) be the total number of cards sold for Mother's Day. According to the information provided, one salesman sold 3333 cards, which is 10% of the total sales. This can be set up as the equation:
\[
0.10x = 3333
\]
To solve for \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.10:
\[
x = \frac{3333}{0.10}
\]
Calculating the right side gives:
\[
x = 33330
\]
Thus, the total number of cards sold for Mother's Day is
\[
\boxed{33330}
\]
\[
0.10x = 3333
\]
To solve for \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.10:
\[
x = \frac{3333}{0.10}
\]
Calculating the right side gives:
\[
x = 33330
\]
Thus, the total number of cards sold for Mother's Day is
\[
\boxed{33330}
\]
