100/2/pi=r
r=15.9(rounded)

2)then subtract 2 units(length of the car) from that
r=13.9

3)Find the new circumfrence
circ=2*pi*13.9
circ=87.3(rounded)

The amount of cars able to fit in the parking lot is now:
=86/2
=43
1. The width of a car has nothing to do with the problem.
2. The cars are parallel parking AROUND a circle.
3. Nope.
