Solution

Given:
• Two parking lots can hold a total of 115 cars
• The Green lot can hold 35 fewer cars than the Red lot

To find:
• The number of cars the Red lot can hold

Approach and Working:
If we assume that the Red lot can hold n cars, then
• The Green lot can hold = n – 35

As together they can hold 115 cars, we can say
• n + n – 35 = 115
Or, 2n = 150
Or, n = 75

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

$$G = R - 35$$

So, We have $$R + ( R - 35 ) = 115$$

Or, $$2R = 150$$

So, R = 75, Answer must be (D)

R + G = 115
R - G = 35
----------
2R = 150
R = 75
