Problem Solving (PS) | Re: A total of n trucks and cars are parked in a lot. If the num

We can let the number of cars = c and number of trucks = t; thus:

c + t = n

and

c = (1/4)t

Thus:

(1/4)t + t = n

t + 4t = 4n

5t = 4n

t = 4n/5

Since 2/3 of the trucks are pickups, there are (2/3)(4n/5) = 8n/15 pickups in the parking lot.
