Sara's age is half of her mother's and the total age is 75 years old. How old is Sara?

Sagot :

Mother's age: x
Sara's age: x/2  (half of her mother's age)
Sum of their ages = 75

Equation:

x + x/2 = 75

(2)x + (2)x/2 = 75 (2)

2x + x = 150
3x = 150
3x/3 = 150/3
x = 50

Mother's age: x = 50 years old
Sara's age: x/2 = 50/2 = 25 years old  (half of her mother's age)
Sum of their ages:
          50 + 25 = 75
 
ANSWER:  Sara is 25 years old.
