there were 5 parking lots that held 20 cars each. each car costed $2.00 to park. if only 1/2 the lots were filled, how much money did the parking lots collect?

Well if there are 20 people normally in a lot but since there half full, that would mean only 10 people in each lot. Then since there’s 5 lots, 10 x 5 = 50. So 50 people in total were there that means we do 50 X 2 which gives you 100. So the parking lots collected $100 total.
