$6,500\ cars$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of people

y ---> the number of cars

we know that

The ratio of people to cars is approximately 1.85 : 1

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1.85}{1}$

x=1.85y -----> equation A

12,100 people live in the city

x=12,100

substitute the value of x in the equation A

12,100=1.85y

solve for y

$y=6,540.54\ cars$

to the nearest 100 car

$y=6,500\ cars$
