Right now Jack’s age is greater than twice Fred’s age by 4. After 8 years, the sum of their ages is 59. Find Fred’s age.

599

Step-by-step explanation:

Attendance for first night of the play = 455

If attendance increases by 16 on each night for the next 9night, the total number of increment for the next 9nights = 9×16

= 144

This means that the attendance has increased by 144 in the next 9nights.

Total attendance for the 10nights =

Attendance for first night of the play + increment for the next 9nights

Total attendance for the 10nights = 455+144

= 599
