Question

The ages of Bruce, Tony and Steve are in the ratio of 11:8:9. If the age of Tony is 24 years, then find the
sum of their ages?
​

Answer 1

Ratios given=11:8:9

i.e. 11x,8x,9x

Let coefficient of ratios be x

given

8x =24

x=24/8=3

x=3

therefore,

Age of Bruce =11x=11×3=33

Age of Tony=8x=8×3=24

Age of Steve=9x=9×3=27

Sum of there ages is -:

33+24+27=84
