One ticket to the underground costs $3. In one minute, the metro sells an average of 5 such tickets. What will be the earnings from the tickets in 6 minutes?
Let's think: During one minute the metro sells 5 tickets, so they earn 5 * 3 = $15. So in 6 minutes they would earn 15 * 6 = $90.. The answer is: 90.

When you take Hiram's age and then add 12, you get 4 less than twice Allyson's age. If Hiram is 40 years old, how old is Allyson?
Let's think: If Hiram's age is 40, when you add 12, his age becomes 40 + 12 = 52. If you add 4 from Hiram's age after adding twelve to his age, you get 52 + 4 = 56, which is twice Allyson's age. Allyson's age is 56 / 2 = 28 years.. The answer is: 28.

Antonov bought 60 candies. He gave a pack of candy to his sister. If a pack of candy has 20 pieces, how many packs does Antonov still have?
