Question

Ailsa is twice as old as Barbara. Ailsa is 5 years younger the candy. the average age of candy ailsa and Barbara is 15. determine candys age

Answer 1

Answer:

Candy is 21 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

If Alisa is 16 years old, that would mean that Barbara would be 8, since she is half of Alisa's age.

If we add 5 to Alisa's age, we get 21. To find the average of their ages, we add them all up, and divide by how many people there are (3).

16+8+21=45

45÷3=15

Hope this helps!
