Q6. Cupcakes for the fair

This is for the older sister, who also likes maths, but loves dancing and singing much more.

There's a cake fair in Sidebay School every year, around Valentine's Day. This year there's a competition for the class that bakes and sell the most cupcakes. Fourth class won this year.

Between all the classmates in 4th class they baked 96 cupcakes. Two thirds ( 2/3 ) were sold for €1 each. Of what was left, half was sold in the sale for €0.50 each. The rest, I am afraid, was eaten by the hungry children in 4th class!

Your task is to find out how much money they make, but I am going to break down in little questions.

(a) How many cupcakes were sold for €1?

(b) How much money did they get for the €1 cupcakes?

(c) How many cupcakes were sold for €0.50?

(d) How much money did they get for the €0.50 cupcakes?

(e) How much money did they get altogether?

And an extra question just because:
(f) Assuming that each each ate one cake, how many children were they in 4th class?

Q5 Farmer Joe and the ducks

This is for the little brother, he wants a maths question with Farmer Joe. He said he likes maths.

Farmer Joe went for a walk by the river and found out that the Dina, the duck, had new babies (ducklings).  When he got home he told his wife. His wife asked how many ducklings did she have.

Farmer Joe, who never gives a straight answer, said: "A few. An even number, less than 10. I'd have to use both hands to show you how many. Not 6."

Can you guess how many ducklings did Dina have?
