[Question]Jane runs a small farm. She has 10 chickens that lay 6 eggs each per week. She can sell the eggs for $2/dozen. How much money will she make in 2 weeks if she sells all her eggs?

Question: The age of Gladys is equal to twice the sum of the ages of Billy and Lucas. Billy is 3 times younger than Gladys who is 30 years old now. How old will Lucas be three years from now?
Answer:
Billy's age is 30 / 3 = 10 years old. The sum of the ages of Billy and Lucas is 30 / 2 = 15. So, Lucas is 15 - 10 = 5 years old now. Therefore, Lucas will be 5 + 3 = 8 years old three years from now. The answer is 8.
