- 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 W?
- Team Z sold as many cups of lemonade as Team W but collected $6 more. How many big cups of lemonade did Team Z sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team W
= 16 x 5 + 3 x 7
= 80 + 21
= $101
Amount collected by Team X
= 12 x 5 + 9 x 7
= 60 + 63
= $123
Amount collected by Team Y
= 6 x 5 + 12 x 7
= 30 + 84
= $114
Team X collected the most money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team W = $101
(c)

101 + 6 = $107 |
Since Team Z and Team W sold the same number of cups but Team W collected $6 more, it means that Team Z sold more big cups than Team W.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team Z and Team W = $6
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team Z
= 7 - 5
= $2
Number of extra big cups sold by Team Z
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
Number of big cups sold by Team Z
= 3 + 3
= 6
Answer(s): (a) X; (b) $101; (c) 6
