Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage of fans that will be able to park in the stadium lot is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

$7,000*2=14,000\ fans$

step 2

Find out the percentage of fans that will be able to park in the stadium lot

Let

x ----> the percentage of fans that will be able to park in the stadium lot

$\frac{70,000}{100}=\frac{14,000}{x}\\\\x=14,000*100/70,000\\\\x=20\%$
