The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Rachel wanted to give 13 of her Maldives stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Rachel, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Ruby → 105 + 43 = 148
(B) Oscar → 136 + 50 = 186
(C) Rachel → 98 + 135 = 233
(D) Vincent → 42 + 186 = 228
Rachel (C) had the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Maldives stamps that Rachel had = 3 u
3 u = 135
1 u = 135 ÷ 3 = 45
Number of stamps that each child received
= 45 ÷ 3
= 15
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 15
