- 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 G?
- Team F sold as many cups of lemonade as Team H but collected $15 less. How many small cups of lemonade did Team H sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team E
= 20 x 4 + 2 x 7
= 80 + 14
= $94
Amount collected by Team F
= 12 x 4 + 9 x 7
= 48 + 63
= $111
Amount collected by Team G
= 10 x 4 + 10 x 7
= 40 + 70
= $110
Team E collected the least money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team G = $110
(c)

111 + 15 = $126 |
Since Team F and Team H sold the same number of cups but Team F collected $15 less, it means that Team H sold more big cups than Team F.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team F and Team H = $15
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team H
= 7 - 4
= $3
Number of extra big cups sold by Team H
= 15 ÷ 3
= 5
Number of small cups sold by Team H
= 12 - 5
= 7
Answer(s): (a) E; (b) $110; (c) 7
