The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Cole wanted to give 14 of his Russia coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Cole, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Leah → 117 + 26 = 143
Cole → 184 + 60 = 244
Esther → 79 + 185 = 264
Tommy → 74 + 196 = 270
Tommy (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Russia coins that Cole had = 4 u
4 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 4 = 15
Number of coins that each child received
= 15 ÷ 3
= 5
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 5
