Question

A bus has three passengers Crew Marty Blakely. Marty's age is 1.5 times Crew's age. Blakely's age is 0.75 times crew's age. If the sum of the tree passengers is 104,find the age of each passenger

Answer 1

The ages of the crew, Marty and Blakeley are 32 years, 48 years and 24 years respectively.

Algebra

• Crew's age = x
• Marty's age = 1.5x
• Blakely's age = 0.75x

• Total ages = 104

Total = crew's age + Marty's age + blakely's age

104 = x + 1.5x + 0.75x

104 = 3.25x

x = 104 ÷ 3.25

x = 32 years

Therefore,

Crew's age = x

= 32 years

Marty's age = 1.5x

= 1.5(32)

= 48 years

Blakely's age = 0.75x

= 0.75(32)

= 24 years
