Saved by the bell!

A sophomore is cramming and scratching his head because he has no answer for no 2 in their Mathematics quiz. The exam is too difficult for him. He keeps on rotating his head and frequently checking his wristwatch. He doesn't know on how to solve problem no. 2. Here is the problem:

Find the age of Mars if she is three times older than her sister Jane. And Jane is 2 years younger than her cousin Lito who is nine years old.

The sophomore student is sweating because he has no answer. As he checks his watch the time is three minutes before nine in the morning and his class ends at nine. However, there are still three problems left to be solved.

His teacher roams around and asks, "Are you through?"

The class answers, "Not yet ma'am."

The teacher replies, "Please pass your paper you'll continue solving the problems tomorrow." "Yes! I am saved by the bell!" The boy shouted.

All his classmates are staring at him and ask, "Are you okay?"

He simply draws the biggest smile on his face as a response.
