- Which of the three teams collected the least money? Give your answer in letter. (Eg A)
- What was the amount of money collected by Team E?
- Team D sold as many cups of iced milo as Team F but collected $12 less. How many small cups of iced milo did Team F sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team C
= 15 x 7 + 3 x 10
= 105 + 30
= $135
Amount collected by Team D
= 11 x 7 + 7 x 10
= 77 + 70
= $147
Amount collected by Team E
= 6 x 7 + 10 x 10
= 42 + 100
= $142
Team C collected the least money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team E = $142
(c)

Since Team D and Team F sold the same number of cups but Team D collected $12 less, it means that Team F sold more big cups than Team D.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team D and Team F = $12
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team F
= 10 - 7
= $3
Number of extra big cups sold by Team F
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Number of small cups sold by Team F
= 11 - 4
= 7
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) $142; (c) 7
