Three years ago, A was 5 times as old as B. If B is now 10 years old, how old is A now?
Correct Answer: 38
  • Step 1: Determine B's age three years ago. Since B is now 10 years old, three years ago B was 10 - 3 = 7 years old.
  • Step 2: Find A's age three years ago. According to the question, A was 5 times as old as B three years ago. So, A's age was 5 * 7 = 35 years old.
