Answer:

74 Cars

Explanation:

If each motorbike has 2 wheels then we need to find how many wheels the motorbikes already take up.

We do this by doing 14*2 and we get 28 wheels.

Afterwards, we subtract this from the total of 324 to see how many wheels are left over. 324-28=296

Now we know the remaining amount of wheels and with this we can get our final answer!

Since there are 296 remaining wheels and each car takes up 4 we can divide 296 by 4 to see how many cars would be able to get their full set of tires.

296/4 = 74 and that;s how you get 74 cars!

*I think LOL*
