MATHEMATICAL

I forgot my age.
If you take my age, and add my age, plus half of my age, plus a
quarter of my age, I would have: 10 years fewer than I need to
get to 100.
What is my age???

33?
Actually, you'd be closer to 32 1/2 I believe.

Really?
Because
33 (age)
+ 33 (age)
+17 (approx half age)
+8 (aprox quarter of age)
= 91
32 (age)
+ 32 (age)
+16 (half)
+8 (quarter)
= 88

Unless you meant "If you take my age and add my age plus my age,
plus half my age, plus a quarter of my age"... then you'd be 24.
24 (age)
+24 (age)
+24 (age)
+12 (half)
+6 (quarter)
=90, which would be exactly 10 years less than 100.
If that's the case, then the question was not really worded
correctly.

Eric thanks for the correction.
Everyone must excuse my bad English. :-[
Now the question is correct and of course you already have the
answer ;D

Iris/Eric, if either of you both are 24, then we're the same
age!
