Q: Tonya has opened a lemonade stand selling lemonade in small, medium, and large cups at $1, $2 and $3 respectively. At the close of business she ended up making $50. As she went back through her inventory she noticed that she sold $11 worth of small lemonades and $24 worth of medium lemonades. How many cups of large lemonade did Tonya sell?
A: 5
Explain how we arrive at this answer:
Explanation: 1. Tonya sold $11 worth of small lemonades and $24 worth of medium lemonades which makes $11 + $24 = $35 for small and medium lemonades. 2. Tonya made a total of $50. If she made $35 selling the two smaller sizes and she sold three sizes in all then $50 - $35 = $15 worth of large lemonades. 3. The large lemonades sold for $3 each and Tonya sold $15 worth of large lemonades which means she sold $15 / $3 = 5 large cups of lemonade.
