The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Ken wanted to give 13 of his Canada coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Ken, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Mara → 123 + 72 = 195
(B) Charlie → 28 + 155 = 183
(C) Sarah → 128 + 17 = 145
(D) Ken → 81 + 109 = 190
Mara (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Canada coins that Ken had = 3 u
3 u = 81
1 u = 81 ÷ 3 = 27
Number of coins that each child received
= 27 ÷ 3
= 9
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 9
