Some birds were flying and met a bird on their way. The bird greeted them; hello hundred! They said we are not hundred, we need half of us plus you to make us hundred.
Q. How many birds were flying?

Let the unknown birds be x.....
X/2 +1=100......x+2=200.....x=200-2.....x=198....
198/2=99.....Unknown birds =99 birds.....Number of unknown birds flying =99 Birds??

Half of us plus you = 100
Means
X(us) +0.5x(half of us) + 1 =100
1.5x=99
X=99/1.5
X=66
