The number of cars in a parking lot is 20% more than the number of trucks. What is the ratio of the number of trucks to the number of cars?

  1. 5:6

  2. 6:5

  3. 7:6

  4. 6:7

Answer: A

Solution

Assume the number of trucks is 100. Cars = \(100+20=120\). Required ratio = \(100:120=5:6\). Trick: If one quantity is 20% more than another, the ratio of the smaller to the larger is \(100:120=5:6\).
