Answer: Todd used 27 black tiles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of black tiles that Todd used.
Todd uses 21 white tiles & some black tiles to make a mosaic. This means that the total number of white and black tiles that Todd used is 21 + x
Each tile has an area of 3 square centimeters. This means that the total area covered by the white tiles is
21 × 3 = 63 square centimeters
Also, the total area covered by the black tiles is
3 × x = 3x square centimeters
The mosaic has a total area of 144 square centimeters. This means that
3x + 63 = 144
3x = 144 - 63
3x = 81
x = 81/3 = 27
"Will is twice as old as Jill."
Jill's age . . . . . J
Will's age . . . . 2J .
"Three years ago . . .
Jill's age then . . . . . J - 3
Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3
". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."
J - 3 = (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by 5 : 5J - 15 = 2 (2J - 3)
Divide
each side by 2 : 2.5 J - 7.5 = 2J - 3
Subtract 2J
from each side: 0.5 J - 7.5 = -3
Add 7.5
to each side: 0.5 J = 4.5
Multiply
each side by 2 : J = 9
Jill is 9 y.o. now.
