Question

Good morning. It is Friday, Jan 22. For today's attendance check in...

Michael is 25 years younger than his father. The sum of their ages is 53. What is Michael's age?

Answer 1

Micheal is 14

Explanation:

First you need to minus the 25 from 53 to see how old they both are without the age difference, 53-25=28. Since we are looking at 2 people, we need to divide this number by 2. From this we get 14. Now 14+25=39. So we can prove that our answer is valid. Ergo, Micheal's age is 14.

Answer 2
