- Roshel wanted to give 16 of her India coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Roshel, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Riley → 117 + 67 = 184
(B) Riordan → 144 + 43 = 187
(C) Roshel → 84 + 162 = 246
(D) George → 50 + 138 = 188
Roshel (C) had the most coins.

Number of India coins that Roshel had = 6 u
6 u = 162
1 u = 162 ÷ 6 = 27
Number of coins that each child received
