Using proportions, the cost of the 17-ounce sundae is of $5.95.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
Considering the 12-ounce sundae bought for $4.2, the cost per ounce is given by the following proportion:
$4.2/12 = $0.35.
Hence the cost of a 17-ounce sundae is:
$0.35 x 17 = $5.95.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years
Then, my age was 3x
Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years
And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years
But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.
So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)
or, x= 5 years
So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years
And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years
