The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Justin wanted to give 12 of his Russia coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Justin, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
May → 112 + 18 = 130
Justin → 130 + 72 = 202
Hazel → 70 + 193 = 263
Harry → 86 + 197 = 283
Harry (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Russia coins that Justin had = 2 u
2 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 2 = 36
Number of coins that each child received
= 36 ÷ 3
= 12
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 12
