Question

Three hundred vehicles are parked in a parking garage. Seventy percent of the vehicles are midsized cars. Which equation can be used to find the number of midsized cars in the parking garage?

Answer 1

300 × .7 = 210

210 midsize cars are in the parking garage

Answer 2

`0.70*300=x`

Explanation:

Let the number of mid sized cars in the parking garage be = x

Total vehicles parked in the garage = 300

And out of 300, 70% are mid sized.

So,
`0.70*300=x`

Therefore, x = 210

So, number of mid sized cars in the garage are 210.
