Let trucks = t

Creating table below:

Cars .............. Trucks ................. Total

100-t ................. t .......................... 100

\(\frac{1}{2}\) cars & \(\frac{1}{3}\) trucks are used; which sum up to 42

Setting up the equation

\(\frac{100-t}{2} + \frac{t}{3} = 42\)

t = 48

Answer = E

Poor wording.. It should have been vehicle and NOT cars.
