Answer 1

The total number of luxury cars are 43.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that there are 260 cars in the parking lot out of 1/2 are SUVs.

Total number of SUV cars =
`260*{(1)/(2)=130}`

Out of 260 cars 1/3 are sub compact cars.

Total number of sub compact cars =
`260*{(1)/(3)}=86.66\approx{87}`

Therefore the total number of luxury cars are:

260 - 130 - 87 = 43

Therefore, the total number of luxury cars are 43.
