The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Brandon wanted to give 12 of his Fiji coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Brandon, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Elsa → 118 + 55 = 173
Brandon → 182 + 66 = 248
Xylia → 96 + 156 = 252
Ivan → 64 + 192 = 256
Ivan (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Fiji coins that Brandon had = 2 u
2 u = 66
1 u = 66 ÷ 2 = 33
Number of coins that each child received
= 33 ÷ 3
= 11
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 11
