- 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 coke as Team J but collected $20 less. How many small cups of coke did Team J sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team F
= 17 x 2 + 5 x 6
= 34 + 30
= $64
Amount collected by Team G
= 14 x 2 + 9 x 6
= 28 + 54
= $82
Amount collected by Team H
= 6 x 2 + 11 x 6
= 12 + 66
= $78
Team F collected the least money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team H = $78
(c)

Since Team G and Team J sold the same number of cups but Team G collected $20 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 = $20
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team J
= 6 - 2
= $4
Number of extra big cups sold by Team J
= 20 ÷ 4
= 5
Number of small cups sold by Team J
= 14 - 5
= 9
Answer(s): (a) F; (b) $78; (c) 9
