Oh Foxy, Foxy, how totally debilitated you must be ! Try to relax. Nobody
enjoys a painful brain, and believe me, this problem is not worth it.
Let me put it to you this way: What if the problem said . . .
-- Demarcus has $8 more than his sister.
-- His sister has $4.
-- How much money ' M ' does Demarcus have ?
If your brain didn't hurt, you could quickly solve this right in there.
You would know that Demarcus' money ' M ' = 8 + 4 .
That's <em>almost </em>exactly what the problem <em>does</em> say.
Except it doesn't say he has "$8 more than his sister",
it says he has "at least" that much.
So you know that ' M ' is not exactly = 8 + 4, but that's the <u>least</u> it could be.
The actual amount of ' M ' is <u>more</u> than that.
Surely you can handle it from here, even with half of your brain
tied behind your back.
Take a good hard look at ' A ', and then go lie down.
Answer:
$32,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Yearly investment = $3,000
Number of years = 20
Investments earned an average of 8 percent a year.
Total invested amount = $3,000 × 20 = $60,000
Current value of investment = $92,000.
We need to find the total earnings on the investment.
Earnings = Current value of investment - Total invested amount
Earnings = $92,000 - $60,000
Earnings = $32,000
Therefore, the total earnings is $32,000.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
