Question

Ann is twice as old as mary and three times as old as donald. Together their ages total 99. How old is ann?

Answer 1

54 years

Explanation:

Given that :

Let :

Ann's age = x

Mary's age = x/2

Donald's age = x/3

x + x/2 + x/3 = 99

Take the L. C. M

(6x + 3x + 2x) / 6 = 99

11x / 6 = 99

11x = 99 * 6

11x = 594

x = 594 / 11

x = 54

Hence, Ann is 54 years
