To find the number of red cars, we need to use the ratio given. The total ratio is 11+6=17.
Since the ratio of blue to red is 11:6, we can calculate the number of red cars by dividing the total number of blue cars by the ratio of blue to red: 317/(11/6) = 172.72727.
Therefore, the approximate number of red cars in the parking lot is 173.
