Question

In a parking garage,the number of SUVs is 40% greater than the number of non-SUVs.Gina counted 98 SUVs in the parking garage .How many vehicles were parked in the garage?

Answer 1

98 SUVs

98 x 1.4 = 137.2 non-SUVs

98 + 137 = 235.2

Answer 2

There are 168 vehicles parked in the garage.

Explanation:

In a parking garage, number of SUVs is 40% greater than the number of non SUVs.

Let the number of non SUVs in the garage are = x

Then number of SUVs = x + 40% of non SUVs

Since number of SUvs are = 98

Therefore,
`98=x+(40)/(100)* x`

98 = x + 0.40x

98 = 1.40x

x =
`(98)/(1.40)`

x = 70

Number vehicles in the garage = 70 + 98

= 168
