Answer:
13 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
The sum of Ashton and Jack's age be = x
As given,
Age of Jack is = 12 years
So, age of Ashton should be = (x - 12) years
We know that,
4 times the sum of Ashton and Jacks age is 100
Therefore,
By the problem,
=> 4x = 100
- [On dividing both sides with 4]
=> [tex]\frac{4x}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{100}{4}[/tex]
=> x = 25
Since,
Sum of Ashton and Jack's age as we got is 25 years
Hence,
Age of Ashton is
= (x - 12) years
= (25 - 12) years
= 13 years (Ans)
