Answer:

the oldest is Ty and his age is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the billy age be x

Noah age be y

And, Ty age be z

Now according to the question

y + x = 25 ..........(1)

y + z = 20..........(2)

x + z  = 31..............(3)

z = 31 - x

since

y + z = 20

y + 31 - x = 20

y - x = -11 .............(4)

Now solve (1) and (4) equation

So,

y + x = 25

y - x = -11

2y = 36

y = 18

x = 25 - 18

= 7

z = 31-7

= 24

Hence, the oldest is Ty and his age is 24

A protein mix claims to contain a bonus of 20% more mix than the usual size container. If the bonus size contains 18 ounces of m
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The usual size of the container is 15 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A protein mix claims to contain a bonus of 20% more mix than the usual size container.

Let the usual size of the container was x ounces.

They increase 20% of usual size and the bonus size is 18 ounces.

Therefore, the new size should be:

x+20\%x=18

x(1+0.20)=18 (∴20%=\frac{20}{100}=0.20)

x(1.20)=18

x=\frac{18}{1.20}

x=15

Hence, the usual size of the container is 15 ounces.
