Problema Solution
A stadium's parking lots can accommodate 5,000 vehicles. If 35 percent of the 75,000 fans drive to tonight's game with two fans per car, how many cars will have to park at satellite lots?
Answer provided by our tutors
35 percent of the 75,000 fans is: 0.35*75,000 = 26,250
since there are 2 fans per car we find the number of cars by dividing 26,250 by 2:
26,250 : 2 = 13,125 cars
5,000 will park at the stadium's parking lots, while the rest 13,125 - 5,000 = 8,125 cars will par at satellite lots.
