Cupcakes and Easter Eggs

Saturday 1st April 2023

Cupcakes were being sold at three prices: large cupcakes were one pound each, medium cupcakes were two for a pound and small cupcakes were three for a pound. Some children (there were as many boys as girls and two of the girls were twins) were given seven pounds to spend on these cupcakes and each child received exactly the same types and number of cakes. How many cupcakes did each receive (no cupcakes were divided) ?
