I would use a chart to solve this problem.
This is a good wya to organize your information.
Down the left side, list the people involved.
I put Bob first and the mom second but the order doesn't matter.
Since Bob's mom is 3 times older than Bob, we can represent
Bob's age now as x and Bob's mom's age now as 3x.
Bob's age in 12 years will be x + 12 and Bob's mom's
age in 12 years will simply be 3x + 12.
Since the second sentence starts with in 12 years,
we will be using the information from our second column.
In 12 years, Bob's mom's age, 3x + 12, will be,
equals, twice of her son's age, 2(x + 12).
Solving from here, we find that x = 12.
This means that Bob's age now is 12 and his mom is 36.
The chart is attached below.
so, you're correct, it is the Food industry, and it went down from 2.7 to 2.5, well, so it really went down 2.7 - 2.5 or 0.2.
well, if we take 2.7 to be the 100% from that row, what is 0.2 off of it in percentage format?
