- 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 H?
- Team G sold as many cups of lemonade as Team J but collected $15 less. How many small cups of lemonade did Team J sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team F
= 16 x 3 + 2 x 6
= 48 + 12
= $60
Amount collected by Team G
= 12 x 3 + 9 x 6
= 36 + 54
= $90
Amount collected by Team H
= 8 x 3 + 10 x 6
= 24 + 60
= $84
Team F collected the least money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team H = $84
(c)

90 + 15 = $105 |
Since Team G and Team J sold the same number of cups but Team G collected $15 less, it means that Team J sold more big cups than Team G.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team G and Team J = $15
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team J
= 6 - 3
= $3
Number of extra big cups sold by Team J
= 15 ÷ 3
= 5
Number of small cups sold by Team J
= 12 - 5
= 7
Answer(s): (a) F; (b) $84; (c) 7
