Center City East Parking Garage has a capacity of 253 cars more than Center City West Parking Garage. If the
combined capacity for the two garages is 1215 cars, find the capacity for each garage.
Let assume E for center city East parking W for center city west parking So E+W=1215……..* but E =W+253 substitute this in * w+253+w=1215 2W =1215-253 2W=962 divide both sides by 2 W =481(capacity of west parking garage) To find E(capacity of East parking garage) E=W+ 253 so E=481+253 E=734 (capacity of East parking garage)
