Hello there!

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

I would be happy to help!

Your question states: Jenny is 34 years old. Two years ago she was twice as old as her cousin. How old is her cousin now?


Two years ago, she was 32.

One half of 32 is 16

Her cousin was 16 two years ago

16 plus 2 = 18

Her cousin is now 18


34 - 2 = 32

32/2 = 16

16 + 2 = 18

Answer = 18


Hope I helped!
