Answer:
Sam is 10 years old.
Explanation:
Lets just say this was asked in 2020 meaning 5 years ago was 2015.
If Pete was 15 in 2015 and his age was 3x the age of Sam, Sam would be 5.
15/3= 5
Now that 5 years has passed since 2015 Sam is 10 and Pete is 20.
(15+5) + (5+5)
Adding the two ages in current times, the sum is 30.
20 + 10 = 30
This refers to the Gilded Age, first published in 1873 by Mark Twain.
The key issue dividing these three classes were mainly political.
The Mugwumps were members of the Republican party, who refused support to the nominee of 1884 and supported the Democratic candidate.
The Half-breed were rivals of the Stalwarts in the party control. They supported civil service reform and merit appointments to government posts while the Stalwarts favored the spoils system of political patronage. These were the result of a split in the Republican party.
