Question

Andy is $27$ years older than Ted, who is $38$ years younger than Amy. In how many years will Andy be the same age as Amy is now?

• A. $11$
• B. $12$
• C. $13$
• D. $10$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $11$

Let the age of Amy be $x$.

Ted is $38$ years younger than Amy, i.e. $x-38$

and Andy is $27$ years older than Ted, i.e. $x-38+27=x-11$.

For Andy and Amy for the same age, we can write

$x-11=x$
