The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Riordan wanted to give 12 of his Fiji coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Riordan, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Molly → 104 + 39 = 143
Riordan → 188 + 18 = 206
Risa → 44 + 185 = 229
Liam → 55 + 181 = 236
Liam (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Fiji coins that Riordan had = 2 u
2 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 2 = 9
Number of coins that each child received
= 9 ÷ 3
= 3
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 3
