Question

Halima is 5 years older than Khadija and Yasmin is twice as old as Halima. The total ages are 103 years. Find each of their ages

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let present age of halima= x

=> present age of Khadija= x-5

=> present age of Yasmin = 2x

=> sum= x+(x-5)+2x= 103

=> 4x-5= 103

=> 4x= 108

=> x= 108/4= 27

thus

age of halima= 27 years

age of Khadija = 27-5= 22 years

age of Yasmin = 2×27= 54 years
