To determine the required area of the service garage, we first need to find out the average area needed per car in the existing garage.
The existing garage measures 230 ft. by 150 ft., resulting in a total area of 230 * 150 = 34,500 square feet.
Now, we can calculate the average area per car by dividing the total area of the garage by the number of cars it can handle: 34,500 / 69 = 500 square feet per car.
Since we want to plan for 24 cars, we can now multiply the average area per car by the desired number of cars: 500 * 24 = 12,000 square feet.
Therefore, in order to accommodate 24 cars, the service garage should have an area of approximately 12,000 square feet.
