Question

The turnout for a game is expected to reach 70,000 fans, of which 60 percent are expected to drive. An Average of 2 fans come in each vehicle. There is parking for only 9,000 vehicles at the stadium; therefore, satellite parking will be needed. If each statellite lot can accommodate 1,500 vehicles, how many satellite lots will be needed?

Answer 1

Answer: Eight satellite lots will be needed to accomodate all the vehicles.

Expected turnout for the game                                    70,000 fans

Proportion of people expected to drive                              60%

Number of people expected to arrive by car: $70000*0.6 = 42,000$

Number of people per vehicle                                              2  

Expected number of cars                           $\frac{42000}{2} = 21000$        

Number of car parks in the stadium                                   9000

Number of additional car parks required     $21,000-9,000 = 12,000$              

Number of car parking per satellite lot                               1500

Number of satellite lots required               $\frac{12000}{1500}= 8$
