Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.
4 years ago, the son was:
s-4
So, his father is currently:
3(s-4)
=
3s-12
Therefore:
f = 3s-12
In twelve years, the son will be:
s+12
And the father will be:
f+12
This can also be written as:
3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12
=
3s
So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36
Son’s current age: 36
We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.
2(24)+24 = 72
Father’s current age: 72
Answer:
83%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can put this into a fraction to get the ratio of the new price over the old price
This will give us the percentage of how much was decreased.
The answer you get is .83
Bring 2 decimal places to the right to get 83 (converting from decimal to percentage)
You get 83 percent to be your answer

B/ 4 oranges for $1.52 I think.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First what we must do is rewrite the table to find a solution:
0.25^x −0.75x+1
64 3.25
16 2.5
4 1.75
1 1
0.25 0.25
0.0625 −0.5
0.015625 −1.25
We see where the values of the function are the same:
x = 0 (1)
x = 1 (0.25)
answer:
x = 0
x = 1
