The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Julie wanted to give 12 of her Kenya coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Julie, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Penny → 109 + 20 = 129
(B) Oliver → 123 + 75 = 198
(C) Julie → 93 + 144 = 237
(D) Paul → 22 + 182 = 204
Julie (C) had the most coins.
(b)
Number of Kenya coins that Julie had = 2 u
2 u = 144
1 u = 144 ÷ 2 = 72
Number of coins that each child received
= 72 ÷ 3
= 24
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 24
