- 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 C?
- Team F sold as many cups of coke as Team C but collected $20 more. How many big cups of coke did Team F sell?
(a)
Amount collected by Team C
= 17 x 3 + 4 x 7
= 51 + 28
= $79
Amount collected by Team D
= 13 x 3 + 9 x 7
= 39 + 63
= $102
Amount collected by Team E
= 7 x 3 + 10 x 7
= 21 + 70
= $91
Team D collected the most money.
(b)
Amount collected by Team C = $79
(c)

Since Team F and Team C sold the same number of cups but Team C collected $20 more, it means that Team F sold more big cups than Team C.
Difference in the total amount collected between Team F and Team C = $20
Difference in the amount collected for every one extra big cup sold by Team F
= 7 - 3
= $4
Number of extra big cups sold by Team F
= 20 ÷ 4
= 5
Number of big cups sold by Team F
= 4 + 5
= 9
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) $79; (c) 9
