0 Prime Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I calculate 49. She gave 5/7 of her age. 35/(5/7)=49. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 49 or 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) If her current age is exactly 35 ignoring the intervening Saturdays and the Sundays. The solution would be: 2 X 52.177457 X 35 % 365.242199 = 10 years. So 35 years + 10 = Her total age is exactly 45. 2 x 52.177457 = 104.354914 104.354914 X 35 = 3652.42199 3652.42199 % 365.242199 = 10 Edited August 17, 2008 by SoKrisky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Prof. Templeton Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Let X = her actual age. There are 260.7 week days in a year ( 365/7 = 52.14 and 52.14 * 5 = 260.7 ) So... 35 is to X as 260.7 is to 365 35/X = 260.7/365 Solving for X by cross multiplying 260.7X = 35 * 365 260.7X = 12,775 X = 49.00 The answer is almost exactly 49 as Prime posted earlier ( 35 divided by 5/7 ) and not 45 ( (35 * 2/7) + 35 ).
