Begin to read your description. Notice, three people described. Notice Josie's age is given as 38. 
PERSON       AGE
Pablo
Amanda
Josie        38
Kimberly

Follow the description yourself and fill the rest of the ages. Only a small amount of arithmetic is needed.


-- 

PERSON       AGE
Pablo        25+24=49
Amanda       71-47=highlight%2824%29
Josie        38
Kimberly     38+33=71

Calculate it in this sequence 

    Josie  (given)  ---->  Kimberly  ---->  Amanda  (answer)


    Pablo is IRRELEVANT.

------------

All you need to know is a sequence of steps.

Establish a sequence of steps is a major and a key part of the solution.

The rest is just arithmetic.


Since other posts do not show the sequence to you,  they weight  NOTHING.
