Question

A stadiums parking lot can accommodate 5,000 vehicles. If 35% of the 75,000 fans drive to tonight’s game with two fans per car how many cars will have to park at satellite lots

Answer 1

35 percent of the 75,000 fans is: 0.35*75,000 = 26,250

since there are 2 fans per car we find the number of cars by dividing 26,250 by 2:

26,250 : 2 = 13,125 cars

5,000 will park at the stadium's parking lots, while the rest 13,125 - 5,000 = 8,125 cars will par at satellite lots.

OR

35% of 75000 = 26250

2 fans in a car

So, = 26250/2

= 13125

Total handling space = 5000

13125 - 5000 = 8125
