1) Let There Be X Dollars with her.
a)She went for a shopping mall and has spent :(x/2)+1
Remaining money with her is x-((x/2)+1)=x-2/2
b)She has gone for lunch and spent:1/2(x-2/2)+2=x+6/4
Remaining money with her is :(x-2/2) -(x+6/4)=x-10/4
c)She went to watch and spent:1/2(x-10/4)+3=x-14/8
Remaining money with her is:(x-10/4)-(x-14/8)=x-34/8
d)Now she is left with 1 dollar
x-34/8 =1
x=34+8
x=42
She had 42 dollars at the begining

3) We get the following equations from the question
s=5d
w=5s
p=2w
p+w+s+d=81
10s+5s+s+s/5=81
81s=405
s=5
The son is 5yrs old
