A car lot has a total of 40 parking spaces. 7 cars are parked in the lot. 3 cars are driven away, and then 5 new cars arrive. A delivery truck takes up 2 parking spaces. How many parking spaces are now empty?
- A 32
- B 25
- C 27
- D 48
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Start with the initial number of empty spaces: 40 total spaces - 7 cars = 33 empty spaces.
Subtract the cars that left: 33 empty spaces + 3 cars = 36 empty spaces.
Subtract the cars that arrived: 36 empty spaces - 5 cars = 31 empty spaces.
Subtract the spaces used by the truck: 31 empty spaces + 2 spaces = 33 empty spaces.
Therefore, there are 27 empty parking spaces.
