My question is: After five years, Ron will be four times as old as Maurice. If Ron's age now is 43, how old is Maurice now? Your thoughts:

If Ron is 43 now, he will be 43 + 5 = 48 years old in five years. After five years, Ron will be four times as old as Maurice, meaning Maurice will be 48 / 4 = 12 years old then. Currently, Maurice is 12 - 5 = 7 years old. The final answer: 7.
