Question

A mother is five times as old as the daughter. If the mother is older than her daughter by 20 years, what is the age of the daughter?

Answer 1

let the age of daughter be x
then the age of mother will be 5x
we also know from question that mother is 20 years older than daughter so:
5x=x+20
4x=20
x=5.
therefore the age of daughter is 5 and the age of mother is 25
