Hi

1. key concept here is --> same number of each type of cakes was given away, so the difference between the number of cakes will remain the same after the sale.
Answer is 54 choco cakes.

2. After buying 5 files, $4 left. To buy 9 files --> buy 4 more files, need another $5, so total of ($4+$5)= $9 needed to buy 4 files... can you continue from here?

cheers.

Q2. i got the answer is $15.25. sorry forgot to add in the answer.

as for Q1 . i am slight confused.
i gathered that choco has 3 units while fruits has 4 units in the end.
based on the difference , it will be 35-18=17
17x3=51.
so any part which is wrong?

Fruit cakes --> 4 units
Choco cakes --> 3 units
Since there are 18 more fruit cakes than choco cakes (difference remain the same), 1 unit --> 18

Find the number of pupils in each team.

number of pupils in each team = 42/(62-48) = 3
