Very interesting question!
Let's try to get something that would work for just 5 for now.
Any of these numbers would leave a remainder of 1 when divided by just 5:
6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, 71, 76, 81, 86, ...
Notice that they all look like 5*(something) + 1. Basically, they are all multiples of 5 plus 1.
Let's see what would work for just 8:
9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 65, 73, 81, 89, ...
Are there any matches... AHA! It's 81. This is the lowest positive integer greater than 1 that follows the rule for both 5 and 8.
1 + 0.09 = 1.09
90 * 1.09 = 98.1
The original price of the in-line skates was $98.1

Let’s make an equation
Let’s say x = amount of years after
Smith = 8, mother = 42
3(8 + x) = 42 + x
24 + 3x = 42 + x
2x = 18, x = 9
Solution: after 9 years
Answer:
Remember the formula for calculating volume is: Volume = Area by height. V = A X h.
For a triangle the area is calculated using the formula: Area = half of base by altitude. A = 0.5 X b X a.
So to calculate the volume of a triangular prism, the formula is: V = 0.5 X b X a X h.
