You can put this solution on YOUR website! Presuming each car/van takes only 1 spot, first find out how many rows are needed to park all the vehicles.
This would be:
[Total # of Vehicles]/[Vehicles per Row] = [Rows]
[24 Cars +16 Vans]/[7 Vehicles per Row]=[Rows]
[40 Vehicles]/[7 Vehicles per Row] = 5.71 Row
This means 6 total rows are needed, the last being 71% full
Row 1: xxxxxxx
Row 2: xxxxxxx
Row 3: xxxxxxx
Row 4: xxxxxxx
Row 5: xxxxxxx
Row 6: xxxxxoo
Each row would have seven vehicles, however the last row (6) would only have five vehicles.
