Week 438 (10th April 2026) 

Sammy owns an ice cream van and has been busy over the Easter break.

On Monday, Sammy sold three times as many ice creams as cold drinks.

He sold 50 cold drinks on Monday.

Sammy sells ice creams for £1.80 each.

Calculate the amount of money Sammy took from selling ice creams on Monday.

Answer:   

If he sold 50 cold drinks, he must have sold 150 ice creams 

Multiply 150 by £1.80 to find the total amount of money to get £270 

However, including the 10% off you minus £50 giving you a final price of £450   

The cost of staying at the hotel for 2 nights £440   

Therefore, the difference between the two prices is £10
