Question

Solve the problem making a chart. A Roman statue is three times as old as Florentine statue. One hundred years from now the Roman statue will be twice as old as Florentine statue. How old is the Roman statue?

Answer 1

Answer:  300 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of Florentine statue,

Thus, According to the question,

The age of Roman statue = 3 x

After 100 years, the age of Florentine statue = x + 100

And, the age of Roman statue = 3x + 100

Again according to the question,

3x + 100 = 2( x + 100)

3x + 100 = 2x + 200

3x - 2 x = 200 - 100

x = 100

Therefore,  the present age of Roman statue = 3 × 100 = 300 years

Answer 2

Answer:

300 years old
