- 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 G?
- Team F sold as many cups of coke as Team H but collected $24 less. How many small cups of coke did Team H sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team E
= 18 x 5 + 2 x 8
= 90 + 16
= $106
Amount collected by Team F
= 11 x 5 + 9 x 8
= 55 + 72
= $127
Amount collected by Team G
= 7 x 5 + 11 x 8
= 35 + 88
= $123
Team E collected the least money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team G = $123
(c)

127 + 24 = $151 |
Since Team F and Team H sold the same number of cups but Team F collected $24 less, it means that Team H sold more big cups than Team F.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team F and Team H = $24
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team H
= 8 - 5
= $3
Number of extra big cups sold by Team H
= 24 ÷ 3
= 8
Number of small cups sold by Team H
= 11 - 8
= 3
Answer(s): (a) E; (b) $123; (c) 3
