The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Seth wanted to give 12 of his Egypt coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Seth, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Mary → 105 + 22 = 127
Seth → 126 + 24 = 150
Winnie → 100 + 131 = 231
Ian → 91 + 193 = 284
Ian (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Egypt coins that Seth had = 2 u
2 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
Number of coins that each child received
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 4
