The ratio of blue to red cars is 11:6, and there are 317 blue cars.
If we let the number of red cars be x, then we can set up the following equation:
11/6 = 317/x
Solving for x:
11x = 6 * 317
11x = 1902
x = 1902/11
x ≈ 172.91
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the number of red cars in the parking lot is 173.
