----------------
In 5 years Amanda will be 30.
Do you mean Simone's age now? Or her age in 5 years?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Since Amanda is 25 years old now, in 5 years she will be 25+5 = 30 years old.


Then Simone age in 5 years will be  30%2F2 = 15 years, according to the condition.


Hence, Simon is 15-5 = 10 years old now.  It is his current age.   ANSWER


It is what the condition says and how it should be understood.


No equations are needed -- only a bit of common sense.
