Question

Six years ago Deki was P times as old as Benita was. If Deki is now 17 years old, how old is
Benita now in terms of P?
A. 11/P + 6
B. P/11 + 6
C. 17 - P/6
D. 17/P​

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 11/P + 6

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
