The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Asher wanted to give 12 of his China coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Asher, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Aria → 100 + 75 = 175
Asher → 155 + 96 = 251
Emily → 58 + 200 = 258
Daniel → 100 + 175 = 275
Daniel (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of China coins that Asher had = 2 u
2 u = 96
1 u = 96 ÷ 2 = 48
Number of coins that each child received
= 48 ÷ 3
= 16
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 16
