conversations.value: I would love to understand how to solve this problem: The total age of the people in Kaydence's family is 200. If Kaydence's father is 60 years old, Kaydence's mother 2 years younger than Kaydence's father, Kaydence's brother 1/2 the age of Kaydence's father, and Kaydence's sister 40 years old, how old is Kaydence?
  Can you explain?

conversations.value: If Kaydence's father is 60 years old, her mother is 60-2 = 58 years old.
  The total age of the mother and father is 60+58 = 118 years
  Kaydence's brother is half the father's age, which is 1/2*60 =30 years.
  The total age of Kaydence's father, mother, and brother is 30+118= 148 years.
  If you add Kaydence's sister's age to the total age of the father, mother, and brother, you get 148+40 = 188 years.
  If everyone's age in the family is 200, then Kaydence's age is 200-188 = 12 years old.
