Question 434164
Ike and his monkey's ages total 100 years. Ike is 3 times as old as his monkey was when Ike was 10 years older than his monkey is now. What is Ikes age? What is the monkeys age?
..
let x- Ike's age now
100-x = monkey's age now
monkey's age 10 years from now=100-x+10=110-x
x=3(110-x)
x=330-3x
4x=330
x=330/4=82.5 years
100-x=17.5 years
ans:
Ike's age=82.5 years
Monkey's age=17.5 years
