Max tells you that two years ago he was 12 years old. How old is Max now?

  1. 24 years old

  2. 22 years old

  3. 28 years old

  4. 30 years old

The correct answer is: 28 years old

To determine Max's current age, start by evaluating the information given. If Max was 12 years old two years ago, you can find his current age by adding the two years that have passed since that time. So, if Max was 12 two years ago, you perform the following calculation: 12 years old (his age two years ago) + 2 years (the time that has passed) = 14 years old (his current age). The correct answer would therefore indicate that Max is currently 14 years old, which means the calculation would show none of the provided choices align with this. Therefore, it is essential to verify the interpretation of the problem rather than jumping to conclusions based on miscalculations or assumptions about age.
