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.

Answer: D

\(G = R - 35\)

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

Or, \(2R = 150\)

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

Red lot = x

Green lot = x - 35.

x + x - 35 = 115

2x = 150

x = 75.

D is the correct answer.

Let the number of cars in red lot = n

Green lot can hold 35 fewer cars than the Red lot
--> Number of cars in green lot = n - 35

Given, n + (n - 35) = 115
--> 2n - 35 = 115
--> 2n = 150
--> n = 75

Number of cars in red lot hold = n = 75

IMO Option D

Pls Hit Kudos if you like the solution

We can let n = the number of cars the Red lot can hold and create the equation:

n + n - 35 = 115

2n = 150

n = 75

Answer: D
