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 16 of his Malta 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) Aria → 146 + 75 = 221
(B) Vincent → 41 + 125 = 166
(C) Sabrina → 127 + 21 = 148
(D) John → 54 + 163 = 217
Aria (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Malta coins that John had = 6 u
6 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 3 = 9
Number of coins that each child received
= 9 ÷ 3
= 3
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 3
