Question

In a carpark, there are 5 times as many cars as motorycles. there are a total of 264 wheels. how many cars are there in the carpark

Answer 1

Answer:

Let number of cars be x and number of motorcycle be y .

Then ,

4x + 2y = 264 ( because motorcycle has two wheels and car has four wheels ) .

Also , x = 5y

So ,

4 ( 5y ) + 2y = 264

22y = 264

y = 264 / 22 = 12

Now ,

x = 5y = 5 * 12 = 60

Hence , number of cars = 60
