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 out how many open spaces are on the second floor, we can use the information given:
1. We know there are 29 open spaces on the first floor.
2. It states that there are 12 more open spaces on the first floor than on the second floor.
We can set up the equation as follows:
First floor spaces = Second floor spaces + 12
Substituting the known value:
29 = Second floor spaces + 12
Now, we will solve for the number of spaces on the second floor:
Second floor spaces = 29 – 12
Second floor spaces = 17
So, there are 17 open spaces on the second floor. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. 17.
