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 India 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
(A) Phyllis → 121 + 80 = 201
(B) Archie → 26 + 135 = 161
(C) Opal → 110 + 50 = 160
(D) Seth → 48 + 129 = 177
Phyllis (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of India coins that Seth had = 2 u
2 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 3 = 24
Number of coins that each child received
= 24 ÷ 3
= 8
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 8
