The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Ken wanted to give 13 of his Fiji stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Ken, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Elsa → 110 + 19 = 129
Ken → 107 + 72 = 179
Elyse → 19 + 196 = 215
John → 67 + 188 = 255
John (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Fiji stamps that Ken had = 3 u
3 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 3 = 24
Number of stamps that each child received
= 24 ÷ 3
= 8
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 8
