- 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 V?
- Team Y sold as many cups of iced milo as Team V but collected $28 more. How many big cups of iced milo did Team Y sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team V
= 16 x 2 + 3 x 6
= 32 + 18
= $50
Amount collected by Team W
= 13 x 2 + 9 x 6
= 26 + 54
= $80
Amount collected by Team X
= 6 x 2 + 11 x 6
= 12 + 66
= $78
Team W collected the most money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team V = $50
(c)

50 + 28 = $78 |
Since Team Y and Team V sold the same number of cups but Team V collected $28 more, it means that Team Y sold more big cups than Team V.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team Y and Team V = $28
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team Y
= 6 - 2
= $4
Number of extra big cups sold by Team Y
= 28 ÷ 4
= 7
Number of big cups sold by Team Y
= 3 + 7
= 10
Answer(s): (a) W; (b) $50; (c) 10
