You can put this solution on YOUR website! a man is ten times older than his daughter .In 5 years time he will be 5 times as old as his daughter.How old are they now
----------
Now:
F = 11D (10 times older)
In 5 years:
F+5 = 5(D+5) = 5D + 25
---------
F+5 = 5D + 25
11D + 5 = 5D + 25
6D = 20
D = 10/3 (daughter's age)
F = 110/3 (father's age)
===================================
10 times older is not the same as 10 times as old.
1 times older or greater is a 100% increase = 2x as much.
The people that compose these problems are morons. Not your fault.
