Answer:

Her son is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let son be x

Ellie is 4x

In 5 years time: Her son = x + 5

Ellie = 4x + 5

Given that she will then be 3 times as old as her son: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)

Solve x: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5) ,4x + 5 = 3x + 15

x = 10

24% students in a clan were absent in a day .If 38 students were present ,what is the total strength in the clan
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

50 students

Step-by-step explanation:

24% students in a clan were absent in a day .

Hence, the Percentage of students present is calculated as:.

= 100 % - 24 %

= 76%

From the question, we know that:

If 38 students were present ,what is the total strength in the clan

The total strength of the clan = Total number of students. This is calculated as:

76% × x = 38 students.

76/100 × x = 38

76x /100 = 38

Cross Multiply

76x = 38 × 100

x = 3800/76

x = 50 students
