- Which of the three teams collected the most money? Give your answer in letter. (Eg A)
- What was the amount of money collected by Team D?
- Team G sold as many cups of iced milo as Team D but collected $12 more. How many big cups of iced milo did Team G sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team D
= 15 x 2 + 4 x 6
= 30 + 24
= $54
Amount collected by Team E
= 13 x 2 + 9 x 6
= 26 + 54
= $80
Amount collected by Team F
= 7 x 2 + 10 x 6
= 14 + 60
= $74
Team E collected the most money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team D = $54
(c)

Since Team G and Team D sold the same number of cups but Team D collected $12 more, it means that Team G sold more big cups than Team D.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team G and Team D = $12
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team G
= 6 - 2
= $4
Number of extra big cups sold by Team G
= 12 ÷ 4
= 3
Number of big cups sold by Team G
= 4 + 3
= 7
Answer(s): (a) E; (b) $54; (c) 7
