- 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 T?
- Team W sold as many cups of lemonade as Team T but collected $20 more. How many big cups of lemonade did Team W sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team T
= 17 x 6 + 2 x 10
= 102 + 20
= $122
Amount collected by Team U
= 13 x 6 + 9 x 10
= 78 + 90
= $168
Amount collected by Team V
= 10 x 6 + 10 x 10
= 60 + 100
= $160
Team U collected the most money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team T = $122
(c)

122 + 20 = $142 |
Since Team W and Team T sold the same number of cups but Team T collected $20 more, it means that Team W sold more big cups than Team T.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team W and Team T = $20
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team W
= 10 - 6
= $4
Number of extra big cups sold by Team W
= 20 ÷ 4
= 5
Number of big cups sold by Team W
= 2 + 5
= 7
Answer(s): (a) U; (b) $122; (c) 7
