Respuesta :

The total area available for cars to park will be 858m².

How to calculate the area?

The area of the parking lot will be:

= 78 × 19

= 1482m²

The area of aisle will be:

= 8 × 78

= 624m²

The available area will be:

= 1482m² - 624m²

= 858m².

The compact parking spaces that will fit in the lot will be:

N × 12.5 = 858

N = 858/12.5

N = 68

The non compact parking spaces that will fit in the lot will be:

N × 16.5 = 858

N = 858/16.5

N = 52
