The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Rael wanted to give 13 of his Canada coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Rael, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Mary → 119 + 10 = 129
Rael → 131 + 27 = 158
Emily → 70 + 126 = 196
Michael → 92 + 156 = 248
Michael (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Canada coins that Rael had = 3 u
3 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 3 = 9
Number of coins that each child received
= 9 ÷ 3
= 3
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 3
