Question 973326: Find 17 years old what age is 25% older than me

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
25% of 17
= 0.25 x 17 {changed 25% to a decimal and multiplied}
= 4.25 years {multiplied}
that is 4 years and 3 months {0.25 is 1/4 of a year, which is 3 months}

17 + 4 years and 3 months
= 20 years and 3 months
