Question

a new parking lot is being built for a medical office. the expression representing the number of parking spots in the new lot is 15x/4-9 where x represents the number of parking lots in the first row. how many spots are in the parking lot if there are 32 parking spots in the first row?

Answer 1

111 parking spots. 15x32 = 480 480 divided by 4 is 120 and 120 - 9 = 111

Answer 2

The number of spots in the parking lot if there are 32 parking spots in the first row =111.

Explanation:

We are given that a new parking lot is being built for a medical office.

We are given that

The expression representing the number of parking spots in the new lot =
`(15x)/(4)-9`

Where x= The number of parking lots in the first row

We have to find number of spots in the parking lot when parking spots in the first row is 32.

The number of parking spots in the first row =x=32

Substitute the value of x in the given expression then we get

Number of spots in the parking lot =
`(15* 32)/(4)-9`

Number of spots in the parking lot=
`(480)/(4)-9`

The number of spots in the parking lot=120-9

The number of spots in the parking lot=111.

Hence, the number of spots in the parking lot if there are 32 parking spots in the first row=111.
