Hi I need help with two math riddles. I would very much appreciate if someone could help me with this

First riddle:
My mother is three times my age
My sister is 75% of my age and 15% of my grandmothers age.
My father is 40, 4 years older than my mother
Find my age, my grandmothers age and my sisters age

Second Riddle:

Harry Larry and Garry are three brothers who all go to secondary school
Harry and Larry are an exact number of years apart. They have their birthdays on the same day.
Garry's birthday is on a different day
Harry is 80% of Larry's age.
Garry is 110% of Larry's age
How old are each of the brothers?

Here's the first one. See if you can use a similar approach on the second one.

Ok, having now looked more carefully at the second problem I can see that you need to do a little more than in the first problem, so:
