Question: Kelsey turned 25 in 1999. Her older sister was born 3 years before Kelsey. It's currently 2021. How old is Kelsey's older sister?

[Question]When Doctor Lindsay works in her office, she usually sees 4 adult patients and 3 child patients every hour. If the cost for an adult's office visit is $50, and the cost for a child's office visit is $25, how much money, in dollars, does Doctor Lyndsay receive in a typical 8-hour day for seeing all her patients?
