In four years, Annika will be three times as old as Hans. If Hans is now 8 years old, how old is Annika now?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
In four years, Hans will be 8 + 4 = 12 years old. Then Annika will be 12 * 3 = 36 years old. So Annika right now is 36 - 4 = 32 years old.
Thus, the answer is 32.
