Question

Penelope is 4 times as old as Jose. Jose is 3 years older than Elliot. If the sum of all three ages is 57, how old is Jose

Answer 1

idk but I need some points to ask some questions

Answer 2

Let the age of Elliot = x years

So, the age of Jose = 3x years

And of Penelope = 5(3x) = 15x years

It is given , that the sum of there ages = 57, that is

`x+3x+15x = 57`

`19x =57`

x =3

Therefore, age of Elliot = 3 years, and that gives, age of Jose = 9 years
