Sally is 54 years old and her mother is 80, how many years ago was Sally’s mother three times her age?

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!!!

There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the
school. The principal asks the first student to go to every locker
and open it. Then he has the second student go to every second
locker and close it. The third goes to every third locker and, if it is
closed, he opens it, and if it is open, he closes it. The fourth
student does this to every fourth locker, and so on. After the
process is completed with the thousandth student, how many
lockers are open

Peter wanted to buy a shirt. He borrowed 50 shillings from John and another 50 from James. He bought the shirt for 97 shillings and got a change of 3 shillings. He decided to pay back 1 shilling to John and another to James thereby remaining with a shilling. By so doing, he now owes both John and James 49 shillings each.

If Peter is to repay the remaining debt, it will be 49 shillings (John) + 49 shillings (James) = 98 shillings adding the 1 shilling Peter had remained with will make a total of 99 shillings. Where does the 1 shilling go?

@ Urstill come and answer this one,it's so simple.

There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the
school. The principal asks the first student to go to every locker
and open it. Then he has the second student go to every second
locker and close it. The third goes to every third locker and, if it is
closed, he opens it, and if it is open, he closes it. The fourth
