The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Xylia wanted to give 13 of her Sweden stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Xylia, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Jen → 100 + 25 = 125
(B) Andy → 123 + 13 = 136
(C) Xylia → 42 + 153 = 195
(D) Archie → 24 + 154 = 178
Xylia (C) had the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Sweden stamps that Xylia had = 3 u
3 u = 153
1 u = 153 ÷ 3 = 51
Number of stamps that each child received
= 51 ÷ 3
= 17
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 17
