Answer:
Mainstreet has more cars
Mainstreet has 54 cars
Airport has 47
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of cars to trucks :
Mainstreet ; 9 : 4
Airport Auto Leasing ; 5 : 3
If each has 24 trucks :
Number of cars in Mainstreet ;
9 / 4 = 2.25 times more cars than trucks ;
Number of trucks * 2.25 = (24 * 2.25) = 54 cars
Airport Auto leasing :
5 / 3 = 1.666666 times more cars than trucks ;
Number of trucks * 1.666666 = (24 * 1.666666) = 40 cars
Hence, Mainstreet Auto leasing has more cars.
