Answer this question: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?
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.

Answer this question:Jaco wants to buy Christmas gifts for his 8 friends that are worth $9 each. Also, he wants to buy gifts for his mother and father that are of the same amount. He has a $100 budget to buy all gifts. How much is Jaco's budget for each of his mother and father's gift?
Jaco will spend a total of $9 x 8 = $72 for his 8 friends' gifts. He will be left with $100 - $72 = $28 for his mother and father's gift. So, Jaco's budget for each of his mother and father's gift is $28 / 2 = $14.
