Question

ten years ago p was half of age if the ratio of their present age is 3 is to 40324 what will be the total of their present age​

Answer 1

Answer:

the sum of P and Q’s ages, now = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

(P-10)= (Q-10)/2, or

2(P-10) = (Q-10). or

2P = Q-10+20 = Q+10, or

4P = 2Q=20 …(1)

P:Q = 3:4, or

4P = 3Q …(2)

Equate (1) and (2)

2Q+20 = 3Q

Q = 20

So P = 3*20/4 = 15.

So the sum of P and Q’s ages, now = 35. Answer
