Answer:

  • Karl is 40
  • Eddie is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

10 years ago, the sum of their ages was 65 -2·10 = 45.

If Karl was twice as old as Eddie, his contribution was 2/3 of the sum and Eddie's was 1/3. That is, Karl was (2/3)(45) = 30 and Eddie was 15 at that time.

Now, Karl is 40 and Eddie is 25.

__

This can be solved using a system of equations.

  e = 65 -k

  (k -10) = 2(e -10)

Substituting the first equation into the second gives ...

  k -10 = 2((65 -k) -10)

  k -10 = 110 -2k . . . . . . . simplify

  3k = 120 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10+2k

  k = 40

  e = 65 -40 = 25

sertanlavr [38]
It is 45% of 247 move the the decimal on the 45% two places to the right, then you should get .45. Of means multiply so .45*247 should get you the answer of 111.15 that's how you find the percent of this number. If you round the answer you would get 111 so about 111cars had a sunroof
