I spent 1/4 of my working life in an office and I spent 1/4 of my working life as a school caretaker. For the last 32 years of my working life I've been doing social service. How old am I?

Given:
Let the he be = Q
Q Started working at = 13 years of age
Life spent in factory = 1/6
Life spent in office = 1/4
Life spent at school = 1/4
Life spent for social service = 32
To Find:
Age of Q
Solution:
Let the numbers of year Q worked = x
Therefore,
x/6 + x/ 4 + x/ 4 + 32 = x
= 2x + 3x + 3x + 384/12 = x
= 8x + 384 = 12x
= 4x = 384
= x = 96
Now,
He started working at the age of 13
Thus, total age = 96 + 13
= 109
Answer: The age is 109 years old
