Casey is 18 years old and Ralph is 3 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Age of Casey = x

Age of Ralph = y

According to given statement;

x = 6y     Eqn 1

In two years

x+2=4(y+2)

x+2=4y+8

x = 4y+8-2

x = 4y+6     Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

6y=4y+6 \\6y-4y=6\\2y=6

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\\y=3

Putting y=3 in Eqn 1

x=6(3)\\x=18

Casey is 18 years old and Ralph is 3 years old.

What percent of 200 is 230
coldgirl [10]
The percent is 115% if put the numbers into a fraction know when finding a percent you can make the numbers you have already into a fraction so the fraction you have is 230/200 because 200 IS 230 so the number that IS is on top of the infraction  so it 230/200=x/100. there is a x because you don't know what the percent is ,also the total percent you can get is a 100% so the x on top of a hundred so you do cross multiplying so 230 times 100 divided by 200 equals 115
