Answer:
Her son is 10 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let son be x
Ellie is 4x
In 5 years time: Her son = x + 5
Ellie = 4x + 5
Given that she will then be 3 times as old as her son: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)
Solve x: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5) ,4x + 5 = 3x + 15
x = 10

Answer:
28.8 or 28 8/10
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage is out of 100. We have to convert 8 3/4 into a percentage. 8 3/4 can also be written as an improper fraction 35/4. Now we have to make the denominator 100. We already knoe that 4 multiplied by 25 equals 100, then we do the same to the numerator. 35 multiplied by 25 gets us to 125. Now we got 125/100. Now since we converted the fracrion into a percentage, now what we do is divide 36 by 125% and that will get you to 28.8 or 28 8/10.
To double check your answer, you can multiply 28.8 by 125% and you will get 36.
