Question

The turnout for a game is expected to reach 80,000 fans, of which 57% are expected to drive. An average of three fans come in each vehicle. 2,000 vehicles park in satellite lots. The rest of the vehicles parked in the stadium lot. How many vehicles parked in the stadium lot?(Round up.)

Answer 1

Answer: 13,200 rounded up to 13,000.

Explanation:

The turnout for a game is expected to reach 80,000 fans, out of which 57% are expected to drive. The number of fans expected to drive will be:

= 57% of 80,000

= 0.57 × 80000

= 45600

An average of three fans come in each vehicle. The number of cars will be:

= 45600 ÷ 3

= 15200 cars

2,000 vehicles park in satellite lots and the rest of the vehicles parked in the stadium lot. Since there are 15200 cars, the number of cars in the stadium lot will be:

= 15,200 - 2,000

= 13, 200

Rounding up 13,200 will give 13,000.

Answer 2

Answer: 13,200 vehicles

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to calculate the number of people that will drive to the stadium, by multiplying the total number of fans (80,000) by the percentage in decimal form (57/100).

80,000 x (57/100) = 45,600

Since an average of three fans come in each vehicle, we have to divide the result by 3 to obtain the number of vehicles:

45,600/3 =15,200

Subtract the number of cars that parked in satellite lots.

15,200-2,000 = 13,200 vehicles
