Question 1015442: how old is maria if her age is thrice older than her sister which is 12 .. years old
Answer by FrankM(1040)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The wording is tricky.
Three times AS old, and Maria is 3*12=36
Three times OLDER, 12+3*12=48
It depends on the exact words. And even then, the teacher might have meant the other choice.
