Answer 1

Above data, shows the numbers of cakes Lara, Linda, Sara and Carol have in two weeks.

Numbers of cakes Linda has = (5 + 5) $\times$5 = 50

Numbers of cakes Lara has = (8 + 8) $\times$5 = 80

Numbers of cakes Sara has = (4 + 4) $\times$5 = 40

Numbers of cakes Carol has = (6 + 7) $\times$5 = 65

a) Numbers of cakes Linda has in both weeks = 50.

b) Numbers of cakes Carol has in both weeks = 65

Difference in Carol and Linda = 65 - 50 = 15.

c) Total numbers of cakes =50 + 80 + 40 + 65 = 235.

d) Highest number of cake = 80

Lowest number of cake = 40

So, their difference is the = 80 - 40 = 40.
