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 15 of his Haiti 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
(A) Leah → 129 + 91 = 220
(B) Jack → 60 + 126 = 186
(C) Joelle → 178 + 25 = 203
(D) John → 60 + 151 = 211
Leah (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Haiti coins that John had = 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 3 = 12
Number of coins that each child received
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 4
