Question 270161
Mr. Tan has two daughters. If their total age is 95, and his elder daughter is 1/3 of his age while his younger daughter is 1/4 of his age, how old is Mr. Tan?
------------
Equations:
d + D = 95
d = (1/3)F
D = (1/4)F
---
Substitute and solve for "F":
(1/3)F + (1/4)F = 95
(7/12)F = 95
F = (12/7)95
F = 162.86 yrs (Wow!)
