Question

A stadium's parking lot 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 1

35% of 75000 = 26250

2 fans in a car

So, = 26250/2

= 13125

Total handling space = 5000

13125 - 5000 = 8125

Answer 2

8,125

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the number of fans, then the number of cars. Then, find the difference in the number of available spots vs number of cars that are coming.

35% of 75,000 fans = 26,250 fans

26250 fans/ 2 fans per car = 13, 125 cars

13,125 cars - 5,000 available spaces = 8,125 cars that won't fit in the lot and will have to park in satellite lots
