There are white, red, and blue cars in a parking lot. The number of each color car is a factor of 36.

- There are twice as many white cars as red cars.
- The number of blue cars is twice that of black cars.
- The number of black cars is the product of two different prime numbers.
- The number of red cars is a square number that is not a multiple of 2.

If there are 45 cars in the parking lot, calculate how many cars of each color there are.

There are 9 red cars, 18 white cars, 12 blue cars, and 6 black cars in the parking lot, totaling 45 cars. This distribution meets all the conditions laid out in the problem. Each number of cars is a factor of 36, and the relationships among car colors hold true.
