Ariel began fencing in 2006. If she was born in 1992 and has been fencing for 16 years, how old is she now? Let's answer step by step:
If Ariel was born in 1992, she started fencing when she was 2006 - 1992 = 14 years old. Since she's been fencing for 16 years now, Ariel is 14 + 16 = 30 years old. The answer: 30.
