Of the 200 parking spaces in a parking lot, 6% of the

spaces are reserved for handicapped parking. Of those
parking spaces NOT reserved for handicapped parking,
20 are suitable for compact cars only. How many spaces
that are NOT reserved for handicapped parking are
suitable for noncompact car?

Answer 1

To find the number of parking spaces that are not reserved for handicapped parking and are suitable for noncompact cars, we subtract the number of spaces reserved for handicapped parking and the number of spaces suitable for compact cars only from the total number of parking spaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of spaces that are NOT reserved for handicapped parking and are suitable for noncompact car, we need to subtract the number of spaces reserved for handicapped parking and the number of spaces suitable for compact cars only from the total number of parking spaces in the lot.

1. First, we need to find the number of spaces reserved for handicapped parking. We are given that 6% of the 200 parking spaces are reserved for handicapped parking, so this is calculated as: 6% of 200 = 0.06 × 200 = 12 parking spaces reserved for handicapped parking.
2. Next, we need to find the number of spaces suitable for compact cars only, which is given as 20 spaces.
3. Finally, we can find the number of spaces that are NOT reserved for handicapped parking and are suitable for noncompact cars by subtracting the number of spaces reserved for handicapped parking and the number of spaces suitable for compact cars only from the total number of parking spaces: 200 - 12 - 20 = 168 spaces that are NOT reserved for handicapped parking and are suitable for noncompact cars.

Answer 2

168

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of 200 is 12. So 12 spots are reserved for handicap. If an additonal 20 spots are suitable for compact cars only then we have to subtract that as well since we want to find the spots that are A. not reserved for hanicap and B. suitable for non-compact cars. 12 + 20 - 32. Then, 200 - 32 equals 168.
