Answer:

Explanation:

Let Bettina's age be B.

Then Darren's age is 3 times Bettina's, or 3B.

Jonathan's age is twice that of Darren, i.e. 2 (3B) = 6B.

Altogether, the sum of their age is

B + 3B + 6B = 120 years

10 B = 120 years

B = 12 years.

Therefore

Bettina is 12 years old

Darren is 3 times as old as Bettina, so 36 years old.

Jonathan is twice that of Darren, so 72 years old.

Total = 72+36+12= 120 years, check! :)
