Question

A wise man once said, “500 reduced by 4 times my age is 256.” What is his age

Answer 1

The answer to this question is 2.048

Answer 2

His age = 61 years

Explanation:

Let us consider my age is x

500 - 4 x = 256

500 - 256 = 4 x

i.e 4 x = 500 - 256

4 x = 244

∴ x =
`(244)/(4)`

x = 61

His age = 61 years
