Q:
Six years ago Anita was P times as old as Ben was. If Anita is now 17 years old, how old is Ben now in terms of P ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 11/P + 6
Explanation: Let Ben’s age now be B
Anita’s age now is A.
(A - 6) = P(B - 6)
But A is 17 and therefore 11 = P(B - 6)
11/P = B-6
(11/P) + 6 = B
