Question

Jenny is 34 years old. Two years ago, she was twice as old as her cousin. How old is her cousin now?

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

2 years ago she was 32. Since she was twice as old, you will divide 32 by two which will give you 16. You will then add 2 since that was two years ago which will give you 18.

Answer 2

18

Explanation:

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
