Jasmine is 5 years younger than twice her sister’s age. If Jasmine’s sister is 22 years old. Then, how old is Jasmine?

Answer 1

To find Jasmine's age, we start by determining her sister's age and using the information given. Jasmine's sister is 22 years old.

According to the problem, Jasmine is 5 years younger than twice her sister's age. We can express this mathematically as follows:

1. Calculate twice her sister's age: \( 2 \times 22 = 44 \)

2. Now, we subtract 5 years from that amount to find Jasmine's age: \( 44 - 5 = 39 \)

Thus, Jasmine is 39 years old.
