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?
