The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- David wanted to give 13 of his Australia coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from David, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Jen → 110 + 29 = 139
David → 104 + 36 = 140
Joelle → 21 + 126 = 147
Archie → 100 + 112 = 212
Archie (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Australia coins that David had = 3 u
3 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 3 = 12
Number of coins that each child received
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 4
