Two years ago, Jared was twice as old as Tom. If Tom will be 30 in five years, how old is Jared now?
Step-by-step reasoning process below:
48
Tom will be 30 in 5 years so now he is 30 - 5 = 25.

2 years ago Tom was 25 - 2 = 23.

At that time, Jared was twice as old as Tom so Jared was 23 * 2 = 46.

Two years have since passed so Jared is now 46 + 2 = 48.

.

Final answer: 48
