Petra is 2 and her sister is (2 x 2)=4

[if Petra is 2 years old and is half as old as her sister]

so,their age difference is 2.

so,when her sister will be 100, she will be (100 -2)=98 years old.

Petra is 2 years old and is half as young as her sister. that means that her sister is 4 years old. when her sister gets 100 years old Petra is 98.

100 - 2 = 98
