How to solve Algebra Word Problems?

We are given;

Total number of vehicles = 155 vehicles

Let number of cars be x.

Thus, since Nine times as many cars were rented as vans, we have;

Number of vans rented = 9x

Now, three times as many vans were rented as trucks. Thus;

The number of trucks rented during one month = 3(9x)

Thus;

x + 9x + 27x = 155

37x = 155

x ≈ 4 cars

Number of vans = 9 * 4 = 36 vans

Number of trucks = 3 * 36 = 108 trucks
