Question

Pamela's age is three times Jiri's age. The sum of their ages is 116. What is Jiri's age?

Answer 1

29

Explanation:

Let Jiri's age be 'x'. Pamela's age is 3x since Pamela's age is three times Jiri's age.

The sum of their ages is 116:

x + 3x = 116

4x = 116

x = 116 ÷ 4 = 29

x = 29

Jiri's age is 29
