- 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 J?
- Team H sold as many cups of lemonade as Team K but collected $9 less. How many small cups of lemonade did Team K sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team G
= 15 x 4 + 4 x 7
= 60 + 28
= $88
Amount collected by Team H
= 13 x 4 + 9 x 7
= 52 + 63
= $115
Amount collected by Team J
= 7 x 4 + 10 x 7
= 28 + 70
= $98
Team G collected the least money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team J = $98
(c)

115 + 9 = $124 |
Since Team H and Team K sold the same number of cups but Team H collected $9 less, it means that Team K sold more big cups than Team H.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team H and Team K = $9
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team K
= 7 - 4
= $3
Number of extra big cups sold by Team K
= 9 ÷ 3
= 3
Number of small cups sold by Team K
= 13 - 3
= 10
Answer(s): (a) G; (b) $98; (c) 10
