41 years ago.
Solution;
Let the no. of years ago when sally mother's age was 3 times hers be Y
Then
3(54-Y) = (80-Y)
162-3Y = 80 - Y
Putting like terms together,
162-80 = 3Y-Y
82 = 2Y
Hence,
Y = 41
We want more!!!

A ship anchored in a port has a ladder which hangs over the side. The length of the ladder is 200cm, the distance between each rung in 20cm and the bottom rung touches the water. The tide rises at a rate of 10cm an hour. When will the water reach the fifth rung?

Three brothers live in a farm. They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 shillings for the wheat. How much shillings did Ben and Adam get of the sum, considering equal split of the sacks?
