View Dynamic Solution & Explanation
Correct Solution: Option C

Step-by-step Solution:

To calculate the number of red cars, we can use the following steps:

Calculate the number of green cars:
* Total vehicles = 160
* Red vehicles = 70
* Green vehicles = 160 - 70 = 90
* Cars = 120
* Green cars = 90 - 18 (green trucks) = 72

Calculate the number of red cars:
* Total cars = 120
* Green cars = 72
* Red cars = 120 - 72 = 48

Therefore, there are 48 red cars in the parking lot.
