    At present John's age is 30% of his father's age. Twenty years from now, Jon's age will by 58% of his father's age. How old are they? Solution:
    Age at PresentAge 20 years from the present
    FatherFF+20
    Son(John)JJ+20
    Relationship\(J = 0.30 F\)J+20 = 0.58 (F+20)

    \(J+20 = 0.58F + 11.6\)

    \(0.30F+20 = 0.58F + 11.6\)

    \(F = 30\)

    \(J = 0.30(30) = 9\)

    Thus, the father's age at present is 30 years old and the son (John) is 9 years old.
