Question 1088965: the ages of mark, thomas and ella add up to 88 years
thomas is 4 years older than ella and mark is twice as old as ella
work out marks age
(my working)
if thomas is 32 and ella is 27 that makes up to 59 now mark is twice as old as ella and ella is 27 so 27 +29 = 56
27+29+32= 88
not sure if it makes sense or it wrong thanks
