The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Harry wanted to give 13 of his Haiti coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Harry, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
May → 112 + 12 = 124
Harry → 117 + 72 = 189
Hazel → 42 + 158 = 200
Bobby → 75 + 142 = 217
Bobby (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Haiti coins that Harry had = 3 u
3 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 3 = 24
Number of coins that each child received
= 24 ÷ 3
= 8
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 8
