The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Warren wanted to give 12 of his Finland stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Warren, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Phyllis → 117 + 36 = 153
Warren → 152 + 18 = 170
Ivory → 25 + 167 = 192
Albert → 90 + 163 = 253
Albert (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Finland stamps that Warren had = 2 u
2 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 2 = 9
Number of stamps that each child received
= 9 ÷ 3
= 3
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 3
