Problem #1 Anna, Bryan and Philip are cousins. Anna’s age is one third of Bryan and Philip is five years older than Bryan. If the sum of the age of the cousins is 40, find the ages of each.
Solution (problem 1): Let :X = Age of Bryan Then :X / 3 = Age of Anna X + 5 = Age of Philip
ANSWER (problem 1): If : X = 15 = Age of Bryan Then : X / 3 = 15/3 = Age of Anna X + 5 = 15 + 5 = Age of Philip • And : 15+ 15/3 + 15 + 5 = 40, sum of ages • Age of Bryan = 15years old • Age of Anna = 5years old • Age of Philip = 20 years old
Problem #2 The sum of the digits of a two number is 7. When the digits are reversed then the number is decreased by 9. Find the number.
Solution (problem 2): Let : Z = Ones digit Y = Tens digit X = 10Y + Z = Two digit number
ANSWER (problem 2): If Z = 3 = Ones digit And Y + 3 = 7 = sum of the two digits Then Y = 4 = Tens digit X = 10(4) + 3 = Two digit number • Ones digit = 3 • Tens digit = 4 • Two digit number = 43
Problem #3 Kim and Cyndi are starting a business tutoring students in math. They rent an office for $400 per month and charge $40 per hour per student. If they have 15 students each for one hour per week . How much profit do they make together in a month? (assume 4 weeks per month)
