John was 43 years old when he married Betty. They just celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary, and Betty's age is now 7/8 of John's. How old is Betty? Choose the correct answer:
A) 24	B) 26	C) 42	D) 30	E) 32
Assume Betty's age on marriage = x years.   John's age on marriage = 43   John's age after 5 years = 48 years.   Betty's age after 5 years = x + 5   Given: x + 5 = 7/8 (48) = 42   Therefore Betty's current age = 42   Option 42
