At interest rate x,
2100(1+2x) = 2352
x = (2352/2100 - 1)/2 = .06 = 6%
so, x-1 = 5%
My age=m
grandfather is g
(g-16) = 9(m-16)
(g+8) = 3(m+8)
so, solve for m and g, and you want
(m-8)/(g-8) = ?
2100(1+2x) = 2352
x = (2352/2100 - 1)/2 = .06 = 6%
so, x-1 = 5%
My age=m
grandfather is g
(g-16) = 9(m-16)
(g+8) = 3(m+8)
so, solve for m and g, and you want
(m-8)/(g-8) = ?
