Easy Age Calculation

Age Calculation Tricks:
 
Step1
: Multiply the first number of the age by 5. (If <10, ex 5, consider it as 05. If it is >100, ex: 102, then take 10 as the first digit, 2 as the second one.)
Step2
: Add 3 to the result.
Step3
: Double the answer.
Step4
: Add the second digit of the number with the result.
Step5
: Subtract 6 from it. 


For Example, if your age is 43, 
               4 *    5 = 20
             20 +   3 = 23
             23 + 23 = 46
             46 +  3 = 49
             49  - 6  = 43
