To find the number of empty spaces in the parking garage, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Number of empty spaces} = \text{Total spaces} \times \text{Percentage of empty spaces}
\]
Given that the total number of parking spaces is 8,500 and 69% of them are empty, you can calculate it as follows:
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
69\% = 0.69
\]
2. Now, multiply the total spaces by the decimal:
\[
\text{Number of empty spaces} = 8,500 \times 0.69
\]
3. Performing the multiplication:
\[
8,500 \times 0.69 = 5,865
\]
Therefore, the number of empty spaces in the parking garage is **5,865**.
