Interesting that both of the previous answerers gave the same incorrect answer. If she's 15 now, then 5 years ago she wasn't 11.
He is 80...She is 20.
5 years ago, she was 15 and he was 75.
80 divided by 4 = 20
75 divided by 5 = 15

He's 60, or four times his niece's age of 15. Five years ago, when he was 55, he was five times her age of 11.

The man is 60. His niece is 15. 15x4=60 5 years ago- 55/5= 11
