Ms Mataira comes across a bubble gum machine when she is out shopping with her twins. Of course, the twins each want a bubblegum. What’s more they want one of the same colour. Ms Mataira can see that there are only blue and yellow bubblegum balls in the machine. The bubblegum balls cost 50c each. How much money will Ms Mataira have to spend to make sure that she gets two bubble gum balls of the same colour?
The next day Ms Mataira sees a different bubblegum machine. This one has three colours – blue, yellow and red. What is the most Ms Mataira might have to spend?
Here comes Mr Smith with his three children past the 3-colour machine. If all his children want the same colour as well, how much will he have to spend?
