The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Japheth wanted to give 14 of his Egypt coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Japheth, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Mara → 113 + 24 = 137
Japheth → 158 + 48 = 206
Eva → 39 + 199 = 238
Bryan → 86 + 172 = 258
Bryan (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Egypt coins that Japheth had = 4 u
4 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Number of coins that each child received
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 4
