Six years ago Anita was P times as old as Ben was. If Anita is now 17 years old, how old is Ben now in terms of P ?
Choose the correct answer:
A) 11/P + 6  B) P/11 +6  C) 17 - P/6  D) 17/P  E) None of these
Explanation:   Let Ben’s age now be B   Anita’s age now is A.   (A - 6) = P(B - 6)   But A is 17 and therefore 11 = P(B - 6)   11/P = B-6   (11/P) + 6 = B. 11/P + 6nswer: 11/P + 6
