Richard is now 14.5 years older than Arthur and half of that amount older than Sam. If in 2.75 years, Richard will be twice and a half older than Arthur, then in 7 years what would be Arthur’s age approximately?
A. 8
B. 14
C. 22
D. 24
E. 30
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Translate piece by piece into numbers. R (Richard) = A (Arthur) + 14.5.
The second equation: R = S (Sam) +7.25.
The third equation: R +2.75 = 2.5(A + 2.75). We have three equations with three variables. Today Arthur’s age is approximately 6.9 (take 7). In 7 years he would be about 14 years old.
