The minimum age required to be employed at a company is 25 years. Dara aspires to work for the company and will be half the age of Jane in six years. If Jane is currently working for the company and is 28 years old, how long is it before Dara reaches the minimum age required by the company to be employed?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
In six years, Jane will be 28 + 6 = 34 years old. Dara will be half the age of Jane in six years, meaning she will be 34 / 2 = 17 years old in six years. Currently, Dara is 17 - 6 = 11 years old. Dara has to wait for 25 - 11 = 14 more years to reach the company's minimum age of employment.
Thus, the answer is 14.
