The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- John wanted to give 12 of his Maldives coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from John, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Mandy → 149 + 79 = 228
(B) Albert → 60 + 159 = 219
(C) Diana → 168 + 21 = 189
(D) John → 84 + 140 = 224
Mandy (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Maldives coins that John had = 2 u
2 u = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 3 = 42
Number of coins that each child received
= 42 ÷ 3
= 14
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 14
