The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Mary wanted to give 12 of her Russia coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Mary, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Zoe → 105 + 13 = 118
(B) Tom → 111 + 44 = 155
(C) Mary → 52 + 180 = 232
(D) Howard → 15 + 198 = 213
Mary (C) had the most coins.
(b)
Number of Russia coins that Mary had = 2 u
2 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 2 = 90
Number of coins that each child received
= 90 ÷ 3
= 30
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 30
