So if 360 is increased by 25%, you would end up with 450 (360 x 1.25), than if the result, 450 is decreased by 50% ( 450 x .50 = 225) (450 - 225 = 225) you would end up with 225.

Supposing that the integers are x, y and z, and that their average is 8, then
x+y+z
-------- = 8, or x + y + z = 24.

Let's experiment. Making up a table, we get:
x y z sum (sum MUST be 24)
5 9 10 24
4 9 11 24
3 10 11 24
2 11 11 24
1 11 12 24
1 10 13 24
1 1 22 24
Can't choose integers smaller than 1, so it appears that 22 is the largest possible integer that could be one of x, y and z.
