Hint
Think about the 40%, and how many buses that represents.

Answer
72 buses.

Reasoning
The garage is currently full, with 12 more buses outside.

If we increase the garage space by 40%, there will be enough space to house those 12 buses, plus 12 more in the future, a total of 24 buses.

This means that 40% of the current garage capacity is 24 buses.

Therefore, 10% of the current garage capacity is 6 buses.

Therefore, 100% of the current garage capacity is 60 buses.

So, the current garage holds 60 buses, and there are 12 more outside.

Therefore, we have a total of 72 buses.

Double-Checking
They currently have 72 buses, 12 of which are outside, so 60 are inside.

Increasing the garage space of 60 buses by 40% will give room for 60 x 1.4 = 84 buses.

Which is the 72 they currently own, with space for 12 more buses in the future.

This confirms the answer.
