12,000

Explanation:

The aggregate amount of revenue of the stadium is $300,000 from which they have $180,000 from the stadium parking lot which has 12,000 cars inside it. So, it is $12,000 * $15 is equal to $180,000.

So, remaining will be

= $300,000 - $180,000

= $120,000

This amount needed for attaining the revenue.

So, from satellite, they revenue of $120,000. So, the number required to make it this amount is computed as:

= $120,000 / Rate of parking

= $120,000 / $10

= 12,000
