Question

In 30 years Sue will be 1 1/2 times her age now.

Options:
A. Age now = 20 years
B. Age now = 25 years
C. Age now = 30 years
D. Age now = 35 years

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we set up an equation based on the information given and solve for Sue's current age.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's start by representing Sue's current age as x. According to the information given, in 30 years Sue will be 1 1/2 times her current age. This can be expressed as:

x + 30 = 1.5x

Now we can solve for x:

0.5x = 30

x = 60

Therefore, Sue's current age is 60 years old. None of the options given match this answer, so the correct answer is not provided.
