Question

Foluso is 3 years older than Danna. In 7 years, the sum of their ages will be 41. How old is Foluso now?

Answer 1

Foluso is 15 years old

Explanation:

Let's use x to represent Danna's age.

Foluso age: (x + 3)

In 7 years, the sum of their ages will be 41.

(x + 7) + (x + 3 + 7) = 41

(x + 7) + (x + 10) = 41

2x + 17 = 41

2x = 24

x = 12 years old

So, Danna's age is 12. We know Foluso age is 3 years older than Danna, we take:

12 + 3 = 15 years olds

So, Foluso is 15 years old.
