Answer the following question.
In her bakery, Teal sells pumpkin pie and custard pie by the slice. The pumpkin pie is cut into 8 pieces. The custard pie is cut into 6 pieces. Pumpkin pie is $5 a slice. Custard pie is $6 a slice. If Teal sells 4 pumpkin pies and 5 custard pies, how much money does she make from her sales?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Teal sells 8 x 4 = 32 pumpkin slices. She sells 6 x 5 = 30 custard slices. Pumpkin pie slice sales make 32 x $5 = $160. Custard pie slice sales make 30 x $6 = $180. Total amount of money she makes is $160 + $180 = $340.
The answer is 340.

Answer the following question.
In a factory, there are 300 employees. 200 of them earn $12 per hour. Of the rest, 40 of them earn $14 per hour. All others earn $17 per hour. What is the cost to employ all these people for one 8-hour long shift?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The cost of the 200 employees is 200 employees * $12 / employee / hour = $2400 per hour. The cost of the 40 employees is 40 employees * $14 / employee / hour = $560 per hour. The rest means 300 employees - 200 employees - 40 employees = 60 employees. These 60 employees' employment costs are at 60 employees * $17 / employee / hour = $1020 per hour. So in total all employees earn $2400 / hour + $560 / hour + $1020 / hour = $3980 / hour. During an 8 - hour shift, this cost would be at 8 hours * $3980 / hour = $31840.
The answer is 31840.

Answer the following 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?
Step-by-step reasoning process: 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 is 11.
