Reading the question the first two times it was too confusing. When looking at it later, it was more understandable and would be better if rewritten like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the percent age of John's son, if two years ago, it was one third of his present age. Take John's his present age to be x years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Try to find the son's age now:
-
------------John's SON'S age NOW, at present.
What kind of percentage the question means, is not clear.
---
The above probably still not correct, because the question as originally formed is badly written, mostly incomplete. Rewrite the question properly.
