The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- John wanted to give 13 of his Maldives coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from John, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Nora → 118 + 38 = 156
John → 166 + 45 = 211
Erika → 76 + 155 = 231
Howard → 81 + 167 = 248
Howard (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Maldives coins that John had = 3 u
3 u = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 3 = 15
Number of coins that each child received
= 15 ÷ 3
= 5
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 5
