A haulage contractor did not have room in his garage for 8 of his trucks. He therefore increased the size of his garage by 50 percent, which gave him room for 8 more trucks than he owned altogether. How many trucks did he own? [Note - He did not buy any more trucks after rebuilding his garage] Cheers!  - Joy Tearsofjoy Joined on Mon, Sep 19 2005 India Contributing Member 1,324 God help you if you are a phoenix And you dare to rise up from the ash A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy While you are just flying past - Ani DiFranco (32 Flavours)

You can easily solve it by using an equation, as below: 2 X+  ½ X = X + 99 Which means: 4 X + X - 2 X = 99 ---> 3 X = 99 ---> X = 33 And since X = ½ N N = the number we are looking for. The number is 66. YoHf Joined on Wed, Oct 26 2005 Senior Member 3,347 Shinichi Okazaki.
