Trucks
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?
Answer
40 trucks: his original garage could hold 32 trucks. By increasing the size by 50%, the new garage could then hold 48 trucks - which is 8 more than he currently owned.Hide Answer Show Answer
