Halley's Comet - A real life maths problem!

Halley’s Comet was last seen in 1985. It will be in our skies again in 2062. Aiden’s dad saw it when he was 12. How old is Aiden’s dad now? Don’t forget to show your name and your working – just like we do in class!

    1985-12=1973+10+10=1993+10=2003+7=2010=37
    we added 10+10+10+7=37
