The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Pierre wanted to give 14 of his Malta coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Pierre, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Mara → 111 + 52 = 163
Pierre → 158 + 12 = 170
Yen → 93 + 151 = 244
Sean → 95 + 184 = 279
Sean (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Malta coins that Pierre had = 4 u
4 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Number of coins that each child received
= 3 ÷ 3
= 1
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 1
