Question

Paul is 2 years younger than patricia. Daniel is 25% older than Patricia. Ten years ago, Daniel was 50% older than Patricia. How old is paul currently.

Answer 1

Daniel is 25% older than Patricia. Ten years ago, Daniel was 50% older than Patricia.

That gives us the equations 1.25d=p and 1.5(d−10)=(p−10). Solving gives us 25 for Daniel and 20 for Patricia.

Paul is two years younger than Patricia.

20−2=18
