Age and Profit Calculation Problems for Cousins and Tutoring Business

This document presents three mathematical problems involving ages of cousins and the financials of a tutoring business. In the first problem, we determine the ages of Anna, Bryan, and Philip based on given relationships and total age. The second problem focuses on finding a two-digit number based on the sum of its digits and a condition involving digit reversal. Lastly, we analyze the profits of Kim and Cyndi's tutoring venture, calculating gross and net profits over a month considering fixed expenses and hourly rates.

  2. Problem #1 Anna, Bryan and Philip are cousins. Anna’s age is one third of Bryan and Philip is five years older than Bryan. If the sum of the age of the cousins is 40, find the ages of each.

  3. Solution (problem 1): Let :X = Age of Bryan Then :X / 3 = Age of Anna X + 5 = Age of Philip

  4. ANSWER (problem 1): If : X = 15 = Age of Bryan Then : X / 3 = 15/3 = Age of Anna X + 5 = 15 + 5 = Age of Philip • And : 15+ 15/3 + 15 + 5 = 40, sum of ages • Age of Bryan = 15years old • Age of Anna = 5years old • Age of Philip = 20 years old

  5. Problem #2 The sum of the digits of a two number is 7. When the digits are reversed then the number is decreased by 9. Find the number.

  6. Solution (problem 2): Let : Z = Ones digit Y = Tens digit X = 10Y + Z = Two digit number

  7. ANSWER (problem 2): If Z = 3 = Ones digit And Y + 3 = 7 = sum of the two digits Then Y = 4 = Tens digit X = 10(4) + 3 = Two digit number • Ones digit = 3 • Tens digit = 4 • Two digit number = 43

  8. Problem #3 Kim and Cyndi are starting a business tutoring students in math. They rent an office for $400 per month and charge $40 per hour per student. If they have 15 students each for one hour per week . How much profit do they make together in a month? (assume 4 weeks per month)

  9. Solution (problem 3): Let : X = Gross profit per month Y = Net Profit per month

  10. ANSWER (problem 1): If X = Gross profit per month Y = Net Profit per month With a monthly expenses for a rental fee of $400 and a total of 15 students per hour per week, assuming there are 4 weeks in a month, then: • Gross profit per month = $ 2400 • Net profit per month = $ 2000
