    Given :

    400 reduced by 3 times my age is 241

    To Find :

    My age .

    Solution :

    Let, age is x .

    So , expressing given condition mathematically , we get :

    400-3x=241\\\\3x=400-241\\\\3x=159\\\\x = 53

    Therefore, the age is 53 years.

    Hence, this is the required solution.
