Answer: 702

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the parking lot of a theater has a capacity of 1118 cars and that on Monday, the ratio of the empty parking spots to occupied parking spots is 16:27.

Based on the ratio given, the number of cars that were parked there on that day will be:

= 27/(16 + 27) × 1118

= 27/43 × 1118

= 27 × 26

= 702 cars
