Each option: [1 Mark]

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

Numbers of cakes Linda has \(= (5 + 5) \times5 = 50\)

Numbers of cakes Lara has \(= (8 + 8) \times5 = 80\)

Numbers of cakes Sara has \(= (4 + 4) \times5 = 40\)

Numbers of cakes Carol has \(= (6 + 7) \times5= 65\)

a) Numbers of cakes Linda has is 50.

b) Numbers of cakes Carol has is 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.
