Question

The ratio of Adriana's age to her aunt's age is 7:10. In 2 years the sum of their ages will be 123. How old is Adriana's aunt now?

Answer 1

70.35

Explanation:

The sum of 7 and 10 is 17. So 123 / 17 = 7.235 (roughly)

7.235 x 10 (for Adriana's aunt's age) equals 72.35

And to double check: We can find adriana's age by doing. 7.235 x 7 = 50.645. If we add 50.645 and 72.35 we get 122.995 which is roughly 123 and the reason why it is not 123 on the dot is because 123 / 17 is roughly 7.235 the full expanded one is: 7.23529411765

You may try checking with the full number without estimating but i am sure of my answer
