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 choice from the following answers
A) 11/P + 6  B) 11/P + 9  C) 11/P + 5  D) 11/P + 3  E) 11/P + 1
Explanation:   Let Ben’s age now be B   Anita’s age now is A.   (11/P + 6 - 6) = P(B - 6)   But 11/P + 6 is 17 and therefore 11 = P(B - 6)   11/P = B-6   (11/P) + 6 = B   11/P + 6nswer: 11/P + 6) 11/P + 6
