Question

In 12 years, Janice will be 8 times as old as she was 2 years ago. How old is Janice
now?

Answer 1

Janice is currently 4.

In 12 years, Janice will be 16, and 2 years ago she was 2. That being said, 16 is eight times more than 2, thus meaning she is currently 4 years old.

I hope this helps!
