Question

A new parking lot is being built for a medical office. The expression representing the number of parking spots in the new lot is 15x/4-9 where x represents the number of parking spots in the first row. How many spots are in the parking lot if there are 32 parking spots in the first row?

Answer 1

All you have to do is follow the formula, because it has already been in the description that the formula is used to find the number of parking spaces in the front row. So, we substitute x = 32 to the equation.

Parking spots = 15(32)/4 - 9 = 111

Thus, there are 111 parking spots.
