Let Mary's age be x.
Paul is three times as old as Mary, so Paul's age would be 3x.
Peter is four times as old as Mary, so Peter's age would be 4x.
The sum of their ages is 64
⇒ Paul's age+ Peter's age+ Mary's age= 64
⇒ 3x+ 4x+ x= 64
⇒ 8x= 64
⇒ x= 64/8
⇒ x= 8
Paul's age is: 3x= 3*8= 24
Peter's age is: 4x= 4*8= 32
Final answer: Paul is 24 years old.
Peter is 32 years old.
Mary is 8 years old.

n+29 is that what you mean
If we know that 30% of the time is used after 9 minutes we can write this mathematically as:

By solving for x we can determine the total time allowed to play games and so:

The total time allowed to play games is 30 minutes. Since 9 minutes have lapsed 30-9=21 minutes left to play.
Geometric sequences go up due to a common ratio. Here the common ratio can be worked out by dividing a term by its previous term e.g term 2 divided by term 1.

Therefore the common ratio is 6.
