Set up a proportion:
3/4/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply:
3/4x = 24
Divide 3/4 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 4/3:
x = 24 * 4/3
x = 96/3
x = 32
So you had a total of 32 muffins, now subtract this from the amount that blew away to find out how many you have left:
32 - 24 = 8
So you have 8 muffins left.
Answer:
<em>Hence the daughter's present age is 15 years</em>
<em>The fathers present age is 35 years</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of daughter be x
Let the present age of father be y
5 years ago;
Daughter's age = x - 5
Fathers age = y - 5
If the present age of father is thrice as old as the age of daughter 5 years ago, then;
y - 5 = 3(x-5)
y - 5 = 3x-15
y = 3x - 10 .... 1
In 5 years time;
Daughters age = x + 5
Fathers age = y + 5
If the age of father will be twice the age of his daughter in 5 years time then;
y+5 = 2(x+5)
y+5 = 2x + 10
y = 2x + 5 .....2
Equate 1 and 2;
3x - 10 = 2x + 5
3x - 2x = 5 + 10
x = 15
Since y = 2x + 5
y = 2(15) + 5
y = 35
<em>Hence the daughter's present age is 15 years</em>
<em>The fathers present age is 35 years</em>
<em></em>
The answer is 90,000. Just remember 5 or above, give it a shove, and for or below let it go. Because 85 has a five at the end you push it up to 90. Same thing with 85,000 or 85,001. You shove it to 90. If it was 84,000 or 84,999 you would let it go to 80,000. Hope that helped!
