The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Brandon wanted to give 12 of his Finland coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Brandon, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Lily → 104 + 12 = 116
Brandon → 124 + 42 = 166
Vanessa → 35 + 167 = 202
Liam → 61 + 186 = 247
Liam (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Finland coins that Brandon had = 2 u
2 u = 42
1 u = 42 ÷ 2 = 21
Number of coins that each child received
= 21 ÷ 3
= 7
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 7
