Answer 2

Her present age is 5 years.

Given:

After 15 years, Salma will be four times as old as she is now.

To find:

Determine her present age.

Solution:

Let her present age be x,

Now, we have to calculate her age after 15 years

After 15 years, her age = x+15

According to question,

x + 15 = 4 *x

x + 15 = 4x

15 = 4x - x

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5

Her present age = x = 5

Hence, our present age is 5 years.
