- 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 G?
- Team K sold as many cups of iced milo as Team G but collected $6 more. How many big cups of iced milo did Team K sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team G
= 15 x 6 + 2 x 8
= 90 + 16
= $106
Amount collected by Team H
= 13 x 6 + 7 x 8
= 78 + 56
= $134
Amount collected by Team J
= 7 x 6 + 10 x 8
= 42 + 80
= $122
Team H collected the most money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team G = $106
(c)

106 + 6 = $112 |
Since Team K and Team G sold the same number of cups but Team G collected $6 more, it means that Team K sold more big cups than Team G.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team K and Team G = $6
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team K
= 8 - 6
= $2
Number of extra big cups sold by Team K
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
Number of big cups sold by Team K
= 2 + 3
= 5
Answer(s): (a) H; (b) $106; (c) 5
