In a parking garage,the number of SUVs is 40% greater than the number of non-SUVs.Gina counted 98 SUVs in the parking garage .How many vehicles were parked in the garage?
Answer:
There are 168 vehicles parked in the garage.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parking garage, number of SUVs is 40% greater than the number of non SUVs.
Let the number of non SUVs in the garage are = x
Then number of SUVs = x + 40% of non SUVs
Since number of SUvs are = 98
Therefore, \(98=x+\frac{40}{100}\times x\)
98 = x + 0.40x
98 = 1.40x
x = \(\frac{98}{1.40}\)
x = 70
Number vehicles in the garage = 70 + 98
= 168
