How old was Abram when Ishmael was born?
86 years old More than 135 years old
Genesis 16:16
And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
Acts 7:2-4
Our father Abraham ... dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed himself into this land.

Genesis 11:26
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram.... .

Genesis 11:32
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
Acts 7:4 says that Abram didn't leave Haran until after his father died. Genesis 11:26 says that Abram's father was 70 years old when Abram was born, and Abram's father lived to be 205 (11:32). Clearly, then, Abram was at least 135 when he left Haran. Yet Gen.12:4 says he left Haran when he was only 75.
How old was Abrahm when he left Haran?
