Question

The Christmas Tree store has a parking lot that will

hold 1000 vehicles. 2/5 of the parking spaces are
for cars. When you went to buy your tree, there
were 200 cars and some trucks in the parking lot.
The parking lot was 3/4 full. How many trucks were
in it?

Answer 1

550

Explanation:

3/4 x 1000 = 750

The parking lot has 750 cars and trucks. Subtract out the 200 cars and we are left with 550 trucks.
