Betty Cooker runs a bakery in San Francisco that specializes in her famous Black Forest cakes. These cakes come with four kinds of frostings: vanilla, chocolate, raspberry and devilicious. She estimates that the daily demand for each type of cake is independent and is normally distributed with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 20. Each customer wants to buy exactly one cake. Customers who favor a particular type of frosting will not buy any other if their preferred frosting is out of stock. Every day in the morning, Betty Cooker and her team of bakers prepare a fresh batch of the cakes for sale that day. Her costs to bake and top each cake are $5. Each cake sells for $15. Betty's Bakery prides itself on its fresh assortment, so cakes not sold by the end of that day are given away to a soup kitchen for the homeless.

Suppose Betty wants to bake enough cakes so that she can be 97.5% sure that she can satisfy the demand for all of her customers. How many cakes with Devilicious frosting should she prepare daily in the morning?
