A few friends are having a coffee and a catch up and get onto the topic of age.
Fiona is y years old.
Vicky is twice as old as Fiona.
Sarah is 3 years younger than Fiona.
The total of their ages is 125 years.
Work out the age of each person.
Answer:
F = y
V = 2y
S = y –3
Y + 2y + y – 3 = 125
4y = 128
Y =32
So, Fiona is 32 yrs old
Vicky = 2 x 32 = 64 yrs old
And Sarah = 32 – 3 = 29 yrs old
