Amanda has been employed at a company for 37 years. The company is 24 years older than Amanda. The sum of Amanda age and the company’s age is 121 years. How old was Amanda when she started her job?

11 1/2 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Amanda's age be a.

Let the company's age be c.

The company is 24 years older than Amanda. This means that:

c = 24 + a (1)

The sum of Amanda's age and the company's age is 121 years. This means that:

c + a = 121 (2)

Put (1) in (2):

24 + a + a = 121

2a = 121 - 24

2a = 97

a = 97 / 2 = 48 1/2 years

She has been there for 37 years, therefore, her age when she started working there is:

48 1/2 - 37 = 11 1/2 years old

NOTE: This age doesn't seem right but I worked based on the parameters given.

answer is : muchas/tipicas

have a nice day!
