The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Bobby wanted to give 12 of his Malta coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Bobby, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Lily → 123 + 96 = 219
(B) Howard → 32 + 119 = 151
(C) Lucy → 168 + 26 = 194
(D) Bobby → 78 + 115 = 193
Lily (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Malta coins that Bobby had = 2 u
2 u = 78
1 u = 78 ÷ 3 = 39
Number of coins that each child received
= 39 ÷ 3
= 13
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 13
