Question

Lily helped Mr Cruz cross the road earlier today. After a short introduction of themselves, Lily found out that she is 50 years younger than Mr Cruz. Given that Mr Cruz will be 6 times as old as Lily in 4 years, how old is Mr Cruz now?

Answer 1

56 years old

Explanation:

50 / ( 6 - 1 ) = 10 = Lily's age 4 years later

10 - 4 = 6 = Lily's age now

6 + 50 = 56
