Question

Soni's brother is 8 years older than four-fifth her age. If her brother's age is 32 years, what is Soni's age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

54.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:

Soni's age.

Solution:

Let the Soni's age be x.

Then, age of his brother = 32

A/Q (x × 4/5)+8 = 32

=> (4x + 40)/8 = 32

=> 4x + 40 = 32 × 8

=> 4x + 40= 256

=> 4x = 256 - 40

=> x = 216/4

=> x = 54

Since, Age of Soni = 54
