Some children sold cards for a fund-raising event. Each small card was sold for 50c and each large card was sold for $1. The table below shows the number of cards sold by three of the children.

1. Calculate the amount collected by Janice.

Janice: $12 \times \char36{}0.50 + 5 \times \char36{}1 = \char36{}6 + \char36{}5 = \char36{}11$

2. Calculate the amount collected by Doreen.

Doreen: $7 \times \char36{}0.50 + 8 \times \char36{}1 = \char36{}3.50 + \char36{}8 = \char36{}11.50$

3. Calculate the amount collected by Zi Ying.

Zi Ying: $2 \times \char36{}0.50 + 10 \times \char36{}1 = \char36{}1 + \char36{}10 = \char36{}11$

4. Compare the amounts to find the highest.

Comparing $\char36{}11$, $\char36{}11.50$, and $\char36{}11$, Doreen collected the most money, which is $\char36{}11.50$.
