When the attendant removed 20 cars from lot A, the number of cars remaining in lot A became
\n" ); document.write( "100 - 20 or 80 cars.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "When he put those 20 cars into lot B, the number of cars in lot B then became 20 + 20 = 40 cars.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So after transferring the 20 cars, the ratio of the number of cars in lot A (numerator) to
\n" ); document.write( "the number of cars in lot B (denominator) then became 80:40 or $\"80%2F40\"$ which reduces to
\n" ); document.write( "2:1 or $\"2%2F1\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( ".
