Answer:

A. 450 trucks

Explanation:

Given

  • Totally the parking lot can hold 1000 vehicles
  • Only 2/5 of the spaces are for cars
    Therefore spaces for cars = 2/5 x 1000 = 400
  • At time of entering store there were 300 cars
  • Parking lot was 3/4 full
  • If the parking lot was 3/4 full, then there must have been 1000 x 3/4 = 750 vehicles in the lot
  • Out of these, 300 were cars, rest must be trucks
  • Remaining spaces after 300 car spaces
    = 750 - 300
    = 450 trucks

Answer
A. 450 trucks
