    487.87 lots

    Explanation:

    Step 1

    As we know that:

    392 lots = 43,560 square feet per acre

    Step 2

    So total lots for 120 acres would be:

    392 lots * 120 = 43560 square feet per acre * 120

    47040 lots = 5,227,200 square feet per acre

    Step 3

    The land available is 70% of total square feet:

    Land available = 5,227,200 * 70% = 3,659,040 square feet per acre

    Step 4

    Converting these square feet into adjusted square feet per lot according to our required square feet per lot measure

    Because we want to keep 7500 sq feet in a single lot (7500 sq ft / lot)

    Adjusted square feet per lot according to our requirements = 3,659,040 square feet per acre / 7,500 = 487.87 lots
