The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Tom wanted to give 12 of his Denmark stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Tom, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Phyllis → 104 + 29 = 133
Tom → 112 + 54 = 166
Joelle → 29 + 140 = 169
Vaidev → 83 + 190 = 273
Vaidev (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Denmark stamps that Tom had = 2 u
2 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 2 = 27
Number of stamps that each child received
= 27 ÷ 3
= 9
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 9
