Find percentages

Question

Of the 80 spaces in the XYZ Industries' parking lot, 5% of them are reserved for handicapped parking. Of the non-handicapped spaces, 16 are reserved for company VIPS. How many spaces that are NOT reserved for handicapped parking are available to non-VIP employees? F. 76 G. 70 H. 64 J. 60 K. 56

Answer 1

First find the number of handicapped spots. 5% = 0.05 when converting it to decimal form.

80*0.05 = 4 spaces for handicapped parking.

80 - 4 = 76 spaces for non handicapped parking

76 - 16 VIP spaces = 60 spaces not reserved for handicapped parking are available for non VIP employees.
