Reasoning and answer: First find the total number of students in third grade 5 classes * 30 students / class = 150 students. Then find the total number of students in fourth grade 4 classes * 28 students / class = 112 students. Then find the total number of student in fifth grade 4 classes * 27 students / class = 108 students. Now add the number of students in each grade to find the total number of students 150 students + 112 students + 108 students = 370 students. Now find the total cost of one lunch $2.10 + $0.50 + $0.20 = $2.80. Now multiply that cost by the number of students to find the total cost for the school $2.80 / student * 370 students = $1036.
The answer: 1036

The second ticket sold will cost $1 + $1 = $2. The third ticket sold will cost $2 + $1 = $3. The fourth ticket sold will cost $3 + $1 = $4. The fifth ticket sold will cost $4 + $1 = $5. The total money collected is $1 + $2 + $3 + $4 + $5 = $15. After taking profit, the total prize money will be $15 - $4 = $11.
The answer: 11
Reverse engineering the question: Lily has 5 lottery tickets to sell. She sells the first ticket for $1. She then sells each successive ticket for a dollar more than the previous ticket. She plans to keep a $4 profit and give the remaining money as the prize. How much money will the winner of the lottery receive?
Reasoning and answer: Each employee gets paid 20 * 5 = $100 for the shirts they make. They also get paid 12 * 8 = $96 for hours worked. So they get a total of 100 + 96 = $196 per day. That means employee cost is 20 * 196 = $3920. The factory makes 20 * 20 = 400 shirts. So they make 400 * 35 = $14,000 from selling shirts. So they made a profit of 14,000 - 3,920 - 1,000 = $9,080.
The answer: 9080

How much does the company make in profits per day?
The workers produce a combined total of 3 workers * 4 hours = 12 chairs every hour. After 6 hours, they have therefore produced 12 * 6 = 72 chairs. Adding the additional chair means the total amount of chairs produced is 72 + 1 = 73 chairs.
The answer: 73
