Four teams of students sold nuggets for charity.
They collected $4 for a small cup of nuggets and $7 for a big cup of nuggets.

The table shows the number of cups sold by three of the teams.

	Small cups	Big cups
Team F	15	4
Team G	12	9
Team H	6	11

1. Which of the three teams collected the most money? Give your answer in letter. (Eg A)
2. What was the amount of money collected by Team F?
3. Team J sold as many cups of nuggets as Team F but collected $6 more. How many big cups of nuggets did Team J sell?

(a)
Amount collected by Team F = 60 + 28
= $88

Amount collected by Team G
= 12 x 4 + 9 x 7
= 48 + 63
= $111

Amount collected by Team H
= 6 x 4 + 11 x 7
= 24 + 77
= $101

Team G collected the most money.

(b)
Amount collected by Team F = $88

(c)

	Small cups	Big cups	Total cups	Total amount
Team F	15	4	19	$88
Team J	13	6	19	88 + 6 = $94

Since Team J and Team F sold the same number of cups but Team F collected $6 more, it means that Team J sold more big cups than Team F.

Difference in the total amount collected between Team J and Team F = $6

Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team J
= 7 - 4
= $3

Number of extra big cups sold by Team J
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2

Number of big cups sold by Team J
= 4 + 2
= 6

Answer(s): (a) G; (b) $88; (c) 6
