- 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 E?
- Team H sold as many cups of lemonade as Team E but collected $14 more. How many big cups of lemonade did Team H sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team E
= 16 x 7 + 2 x 9
= 112 + 18
= $130
Amount collected by Team F
= 13 x 7 + 9 x 9
= 91 + 81
= $172
Amount collected by Team G
= 7 x 7 + 13 x 9
= 49 + 117
= $166
Team F collected the most money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team E = $130
(c)

Since Team H and Team E sold the same number of cups but Team E collected $14 more, it means that Team H sold more big cups than Team E.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team H and Team E = $14
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team H
= 9 - 7
= $2
Number of extra big cups sold by Team H
= 14 ÷ 2
= 7
Number of big cups sold by Team H
= 2 + 7
= 9
Answer(s): (a) F; (b) $130; (c) 9
