The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Linda wanted to give 12 of her Scotland stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Linda, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Mandy → 109 + 47 = 156
(B) Tom → 122 + 49 = 171
(C) Linda → 85 + 144 = 229
(D) Brandon → 17 + 158 = 175
Linda (C) had the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Scotland stamps that Linda had = 2 u
2 u = 144
1 u = 144 ÷ 2 = 72
Number of stamps that each child received
= 72 ÷ 3
= 24
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 24
