The ratio of the number of CARS to SUVs in a parking lot is 5:2. There are 70 total Vehicles in the parking lot. How many SUVs are there

1 answer

Since the ratio of cars to SUVs is 5:2, we can assume that there are 5x cars and 2x SUVs, where x is a positive integer.
The total number of cars and SUVs is 5x + 2x = 7x.
Since there are 70 vehicles in total, we can set up the equation 7x = 70.
Simplifying the equation, we get x = 10.
Thus, there are 2x = 2 * 10 = <<2*10=20>>20 SUVs in the parking lot. Answer: \boxed{20}.
