Answer:

the average number of people in each car is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the average number of people in the car is shown below:

= (Expected fans × given percentage) ÷ (number of vehicles parked)

= (80,000 fans × 45%) ÷ (12,000 vehicles)

= 36,000 ÷ 12,000 vehicles

= 3

hence, the average number of people in each car is 3
