Step-by-step explanation:
Given The ages of Philip and Max are in the ratio 3:5. Three years later the sum of their ages will be 70 years. What are their present ages?
- Let the present age of Philip and Max be 3p and 5p
- After 3 years
- Philip’s age will be 3p + 3
- Max’s age will be 5p + 3
- So sum of their ages is 70
- 3p + 3 + 5p + 3 = 70
- 8p + 6 = 70
- 8p = 70 – 6
- 8p = 64
- p = 8
- Now their present ages will be 3p = 3(8) = 24 and 5p = 5(8) = 40 years.
