Question

An 800 car parking lot is divided into 3 section there are 270 spots in section 1, and 150 more in section 2 then in section 3. How many spots are in section 2?

Answer 1

let spots in section 3 be x.
then,spot in section 2 = x+150
given,total spots in parking lot =800
spots in section 1=270
According to question,
x+x+150+270=800
2x+420=800
2x=800-420
2x=380
x=380/2
x=190
Now, spots in section 2 = x+150=190+150=340
