The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Vaidev wanted to give 16 of his Canada coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Vaidev, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Mandy → 120 + 38 = 158
Vaidev → 131 + 54 = 185
Esther → 53 + 160 = 213
Dylan → 70 + 158 = 228
Dylan (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Canada coins that Vaidev had = 6 u
6 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 6 = 9
Number of coins that each child received
= 9 ÷ 3
= 3
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 3
