Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are 35 , 36 and 37 years respectively.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are <u>consecutive whole numbers</u> and Stan is the youngest and Wayne is the oldest.
So, lets assume that Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are and
Given that, the sum of their ages is 108. So, the equation will be.....
So, Stan's age is 35 years , Mark's age is (35+1)= 36 years and Wayne's age is (35+2)= 37 years.
Using a system of equations, it is found that Peter had $48 at first.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Peter's money.
- Variable y: Henry's money.
The ratio of peters money to henrys money is 4 : 3, hence:
After Peter spent $12, they had the same amount, hence:
y = x - 12.
Then, replacing in the ratio:
4(x - 12) = 3x
x = 48.
