The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Elyse wanted to give 15 of her Australia stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Elyse, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Elsa → 110 + 24 = 134
(B) Peter → 105 + 63 = 168
(C) Elyse → 91 + 135 = 226
(D) Xavier → 47 + 170 = 217
Elyse (C) had the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Australia stamps that Elyse had = 5 u
5 u = 135
1 u = 135 ÷ 5 = 27
Number of stamps that each child received
= 27 ÷ 3
= 9
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 9
