There are 29 open spaces on the first floor of a parking garage. There are 12 more open spaces on the first floor than on the second floor. How many spaces are open on the second floor?
To find the number of open spaces on the second floor, we can set up the equation based on the information given.
We know that:
– Open spaces on the first floor = 29
– There are 12 more open spaces on the first floor than on the second floor.
Let the number of open spaces on the second floor be ( x ). According to the problem, we have:
[ 29 = x + 12 ]
To find ( x ), we can rearrange the equation:
1. Subtract 12 from both sides:
[ x = 29 – 12 ]
2. Calculate the right side:
[ x = 17 ]
So, there are 17 open spaces on the second floor.
