Q: Turner wants to ride the rollercoaster 3 times, the Catapult 2 times and the Ferris wheel once. It costs 4 tickets to ride the rollercoaster, 4 tickets to ride the Catapult and 1 ticket to ride the Ferris wheel. How many tickets does Turner need?

[Question]Drew is 5 years older than Maya. Peter is 4 years older than Drew. John is 30 and is twice as old as Maya. In 2 years, Jacob will be exactly half of Peter’s age. How old is Jacob now?
[Answer]If John is 30 and twice as old as Maya then Maya is 30 / 2 = 15 years old. Drew is 5 years older than Maya so Drew is 15 + 5 = 20 years old. Peter is 4 years older than Drew so is 20 + 4 = 24 years old. In 2 years, Peter will be 24 + 2 = 26 years old. Half of Peter’s age in 2 years will be 26 / 2 = 13 years old and Jacob’s age in 2 years. Jacob now is 13 - 2 = 11 years old. The answer is 11.
