Alice is excited to be going to Glastonbury at the weekend with some of her family.
Alice is 9 years younger than Imogen.
Nancy is one third of Imogen’s age.
Daisy is twice Nancy’s age.
Alice is 27 years old.
What are the ages of Imogen, Nancy and Daisy?
Answer:
If Alice is 9 years younger than Imogen, then
Imogen is 27 + 9 = 36 years old
If Nancy is 1/3 of Imogen’s age, then
Nancy is 36/3 = 12 years old
If Daisy is twice Nancy’s age, then
Daisy is 12×2 = 24 years old
Imogen = 36 years old
Nancy = 12 years old
Daisy = 24 years old
