Difference between age of oldest child and youngest child is 7 years

<u>Solution: </u>

Need to find difference between Oldest and youngest child.

Let assume Amy’s age be represented by variable A

And assume Betty’s age be represented by variable B

And assume Carl's age be represented by Variable C.

Lets first try to calculate each age from given equation.

So From Given information,

Amy's age plus Betty's age is 29 years  

A + B = 29      ------(1)

Amy's plus Carl's age is 27 years.  

A + C = 27      ------(2)  

Betty's plus Carl's age is 22 years.

B + C = 22      ------(3)

On subtracting equation (3) from (2) we get

(A + C) – (B + C) = 27 – 22

=> A – B = 5    ------(4)

On adding equation (1) and (4), we get

(A + B) + (A – B) = 29 + 5

=> 2A = 34

=> A = 17

From (1)

A + B = 29

=> 17 + B = 29

=> B = 29 – 17 = 12

From (3)

B + C = 22

=> 12 + C = 22

=> C = 22 -12 = 10

So Amy’s age A = 17, Betty’s age B = 12 and Carl’s age C = 10

So Youngest is Carl and Oldest in Amy

And <em>difference between age of oldest child and youngest child </em><em>= Amy age - Carl age</em>

= 17 – 10 = 7 years

a wholesaler allows a discount of 25kobo for every 25 naira goods purchased . find the percentage discount allowed.
ZanzabumX [31]

The percentage discount allowed by the wholesaler is 1%

<h3>Percentage</h3>

  • 1 naira = 100 Kobo

25 naira = 25 × 100

= 2500 Kobo

Percentage discount allowed = 25 / 2500 × 100

= 0.01 × 100

= 1%

Therefore, the percentage discount allowed is 1%
