: When the parking garage opened in the morning there were 100 cars in a lot A and 20 cars in lot B. after the attendant moved 20 cars from a lot A into lot B what was the ratio of the number of cars in lot A to the number of cars in lot B? This question is from textbook

When the attendant removed 20 cars from lot A, the number of cars remaining in lot A became
100 - 20 or 80 cars.
.
When he put those 20 cars into lot B, the number of cars in lot B then became 20 + 20 = 40 cars.
.
So after transferring the 20 cars, the ratio of the number of cars in lot A (numerator) to
the number of cars in lot B (denominator) then became 80:40 or which reduces to
2:1 or .
.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem.
