Before 8 A. M., there were 64 trucks and 24 cars in a parking lot. Between 8 A. M. and 9 A. M., more cars entered the parking lot and no trucks entered or exited the lot. At 9:00 A. M., the number of trucks represented 1/5 of the parking lot's vehicles. How many cars entered between 8 A. M. and 9 A. M? A. 56 B. 112 C. 148 D. 192 PLZ EXPLAIN

232 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of cars that entered is c.

At 9:00 am, there are a total of 24 + c cars and 64 trucks. We know that this value of 64 represents 1/5 of the total number of vehicles. The total number of vehicles is (24 + c) + 64 = 88 + c. So, we have:

64/(88 + c) = 1/5

Cross-multiply:

88 + c = 64 * 5 = 320

c = 320 - 88 = 232

Thus, the answer is 232 cars.

Note: as 232 doesn't show up in the answer choices, it's possible that the problem was copied correctly.

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
