Answer:   5s -3 = s -3 + 24    5s -3 = s + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Father   f

Son   s .   present:  f = 5s  use this equation to substitute the equal value

3 years ago .  f-3 = s-3 + 24  

Substitute 5s for f in the second equation

5s -3 = s-3 + 24

works out as  5s -s = - 3  +3 + 24

4s = 24  

4s/4 = 24/4  

s = 6

The son's age is 6, The father is 30

To get the solution we are looking for we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume that 55 is 100% because its the output value of the task.
2. We assume that the x is the value we are looking for. 
3. If 100% = 55 so we can write it down as 100%=55 
4. We know that x% = 44 of the output value so we can write it as x%=44.
5. Now we have two simple equations: 1) 100%=55 2) x%=44 where left sides of both of them have the same units and both right sides have the same units so we can do something like that 100%/x%=55/44.
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation and we will get the answer.
7. Solution for 44 is what percent of 55 100%/x%=55/44 (100/x)*x=(55/44)*x we multiply both sides of the equation by x 100= 1.25*x we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x 100/1.25=x 80=x now we have: 44 is 80% of 55! 

Quick answer = 44 is 80% of 55
Hope this helps! ;D

Malik deposited 1050 in a savings account and it earned 241.50 in simple interest after four years. Find the interest after four
kap26 [50]

Answer:

if it's true simple interest then each year's interest is the same so interest for one year is a quarter of 241.50 which give you the rate but if each year's interest in left in the account the result will be different , it is a really poorly worded question
