Ted is five times as old as Roise was when Ted was Roise's age. When Rosie reaches Ted's current age, the sum of their ages will be 72 . Find Ted's current age.​

60

Lets make the people into variables first

Ted = x

Rosie = y

The sum of their ages is 72 so

x + y = 72

Ted is 5 times as old as rosie was when ted was Rosie's age

x = 5y

Now lets put in 5y instead of x so we can solve for y

5y + y = 72

6y = 72

y = 12

If y = 12 then we can put that in to get ted's age

x = 5(12)

x = 60

Ted is 60!

Lets check our work,

since we know the sum is 72 we can add their ages to check,

60 + 12 = 72

Yep! This is right.

Hope this helped! If you could mark branliest i'd appreciate it a lot. Let me know if you need anything else!

60 is probably the answee

i hope this : )

$450 is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

30% of 450 = 135

450-135=315
