1017 cars can park in the lot.

Explanation:

To start the problem, we first need to find how many total spaces are in the lot. Because there are 26 rows and 44 spots for cars in each row, we need to multiply the rows by spots:

#44 * 26 = 1144#

This means there are 1144 total spots in the lot. Now because 127 of the spots are reserved, we need to take those spots out of the total number of spots:

#144 - 127 = 1017#

This means a total of 1017 cars can park in the parking lot.
