Answer 2

Answer:

111 spots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y denote the total number of parking spots expressed as:

$y=\frac{15x}{4}-9$

Given that x is the number of spots in the first row.

-Now, given that the first row has 32 spots, we substitute in the expression to solve for y:

$y=\frac{15x}{4}-9,\ \ x=32\\\\=\frac{15\times 32}{4}-9\\\\=120-9\\\\=111$

Hence, there are 111 spots in the parking lot.
