Question

If ashley's mother age last year was 2 times on ashley's age and the sum of their ages last year was 54 years, find ashley's present age

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Before 1 year, Ashley and mother was in the ratio of 1:2

And sum was 54

So (1+2)x= 54

3x=54

x=18

so present age of Ashely is 19.

(because 1year before the age was 18)
