Answer:

16 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the letters s, b, and c for Sushil, Brian, and Caroline's ages. Sushil is the oldest, followed by Brian, and then Caroline, the youngest. From the problem description, we can set up three equations:

s = b + 6 <em>(Sushil is 6 years older than Brian)</em>

c = b - 5 <em>(Caroline is 5 years younger than Brian)</em>

s + b + c = 64 <em>(The total of their ages is 64)</em>

Since s and c are already in terms of b, we can substitute them into the last equation and solve to find Brian's age:

(b + 6) + b + (b - 5) = 64

3b + 1 = 64

3b = 63

b = 21

Now that we know Brian's age, we can simply subtract 5 to find Caroline's:

c = b - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16 years old.

There are 48 DVDs of comedies and dramas on the shelf. If 25% of the DVDs are comedies, how many are dramas?
Mazyrski [523]

There are 36 drama DVD's

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that there are 48 DVD's of comedies and dramas on shelf

25 % of DVD's are comedies

To find: number of drama DVD's

Total number of dvd = 48

Number of comedy dvd = 25 % of 48

Let us find 25 % of 48

\rightarrow 25 \% \text{ of } 48\\\\\rightarrow 25 \% \times 48\\\\\rightarrow \frac{25}{100} \times 48\\\\\rightarrow 0.25 \times 48 = 12

Thus, number of comedy dvd = 12

Thus we get,

number of drama DVD's = Total number of dvd - number of comedy dvd

number of drama dvd = 48 - 12 = 36

Thus there are 36 drama dvd's
