Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is on ratio, and we can use part to the whole to arrive at our answer

given that total vehicles is 210 vehicles

the sum of the ratio of cars to trucks is = 4+3= 7

therefore applying part to the whole formula we have

for cars

4/7=x/210

cross multiply we have

7x= 210*4

x= (210*4)/7

x= 30*4

x= 120

So in all there are 120 cars in the lot
