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?
Answer: 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.
[Question]Yuko likes to play board games. He decides to play a game with his brother Yuri. They must roll 3 dice at the same time and move the squares corresponding to the value of the 3 dice. Yuri started and his dice had the following combination: 2, 4, and 5. On Yuko's turn, he rolled 1, 5, and X. How many squares must Yuko's last die move him so that he is in front of his brother?
[Answer]The sum of Yuri's dice gave, 2 + 4 + 5 = 11 squares. For Yuko to get the same sum in the dice, 1 + 5 + X = 11 squares. Solving the equation, X = 11 - 6, X = 5 squares. To stand in front of his brother, Yuko needs to be at least 1 place in front, so his last die will move him, 5 + 1 = 6 squares. The answer is 6.
Q: Julieta went to the store to buy a backpack and three ring-binders for her school supplies. She knew the backpack was $50, and each ring-binder cost was $20. However, at the store, she found out that the price of a back had increased by $5, and the price of a ring-binder had reduced by $2. Calculate the total amount of money Julieta spent at the store.
A: Initially, a backpack cost was $50; when it increased by $5, the price became $50 + $5 = $55. The price of a ring - binder $20, when it reduced by $2, the price became $20 - $2 = $18. If she wanted to buy 3 ring - binders, she spent $18 * 3 = $54. In total, Julieta spent $55 + $54 = $109. The answer is 109.
