Parking

At a building parking, 245 spaces are for cars, 56 are for vans, and the rest are for buses. If 14% of all parking spaces are for buses, how many parking spaces are there in the building? How many spaces are for buses?

Correct answer:

b =  49
p =  350

Step-by-step explanation:


p = 245+56+b
b = 14/100 · p

b-p = -301
100b-14p = 0

Pivot: Row 1 ↔ Row 2
100b-14p = 0
b-p = -301

Row 2 - 1/100 · Row 1 → Row 2
100b-14p = 0
-0.86p = -301


p = -301/-0.86 = 350
b = 0+14p/100 = 0+14 · 350/100 = 49

b = 49
p = 350
