F 28

G 32

H 34

J 38

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The correct option is J 38.

Step 1. Make the equation.

It is given that there are 24 more cars than twice the number of trucks for sale at a dealership and there are 100 cars for sale.

Let the number of trucks be represented by x.

Thus, the given statement can be written as:  $2x+24=100$

Step 2. Solve for x .

$$\begin{gathered} 2x+24=100 \\ 2x=100-24 \\ 2x=76 \\ x=38 \end{gathered}$$

Step 3. Check for the correct option.

Therefore, the correct option is J 38.
