So @mathmate deleted my comment because "I wasn't explaining my answer" well I did

I clearly stated that you have to make educated guess and I showed how I GOT my answer

so i guess here is my "proper" answer

There is no specific formula for this, so you can make an educated guess

for example:

13*5 = 65 (this isn't right because we need a minimum of 114)

so we continue the guessing

I then next tried

13*9

I got 117,

117 is more than 113

making 9 the minimum amount of rows for the hotel parking lot


there ya go @mathmate is that clear enough?
