I travelled from London to Glasgow last week at 60 miles per hour, I had filled my petrol tank just before I left, so it was full with 25 gallons.

Unfortunately, my petrol tank sprang a leak immediately, and I only managed to drive 300 miles before I ran out of petrol.

My car does 30 miles per gallon, how fast was I losing petrol through the hole?

I recently went to the shop and purchased 4 items.

Three of the items cost:
$1.50
$3.00
$4.00

There was quite a long queue, and as I was quite bored, I was playing with my pocket calculator while I waited.

Very curiously, the 4 prices added to the same number as I got when I multiplied the 4 prices together.

What was the price of the 4^th item?
