The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Erika wanted to give 15 of her Canada coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Erika, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Mary → 116 + 45 = 161
(B) Ben → 150 + 31 = 181
(C) Erika → 83 + 150 = 233
(D) George → 30 + 192 = 222
Erika (C) had the most coins.
(b)
Number of Canada coins that Erika had = 5 u
5 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 5 = 30
Number of coins that each child received
= 30 ÷ 3
= 10
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 10
