The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Archie wanted to give 12 of his Peru stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Archie, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Gem → 109 + 53 = 162
Archie → 122 + 84 = 206
Ivory → 100 + 153 = 253
Glen → 96 + 189 = 285
Glen (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Peru stamps that Archie had = 2 u
2 u = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 2 = 42
Number of stamps that each child received
= 42 ÷ 3
= 14
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 14
