George is 12 years older than jeannie the sum of their ages in 5 years will be 50 how old is jennie now

To solve any questions relating to ages, I find it easier to make a table, like in the picture below.

See picture for answer and clear diagram.

Notes/Explanations + answer in written form

Jennies age now = x

So Georges age now would be: x + 12   (since he is 12 years older)

Jennies age in 5 years would be: x + 5   (since it is 5 years later)

Georges age in 5 years would be: x + 12 + 5 = x + 17

We are told that their ages in 5 years would add up to 50. So we can write an equation like so:

x + 17   +   x + 5 = 50                 (All you have to do now is solve it)

2x + 22 = 50                             (combine like terms)

2x = 28                                      (subtract 22 from both sides)

x = 14                                         (divide both sides by two)

That means that Jennies age is 14 years

Please comment below if you have any questions - I would be more that happy to help / explain anything!

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
