The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Asher wanted to give 16 of his India coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Asher, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Jen → 118 + 17 = 135
Asher → 144 + 90 = 234
Penelope → 67 + 176 = 243
Tom → 61 + 185 = 246
Tom (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of India coins that Asher had = 6 u
6 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 6 = 15
Number of coins that each child received
= 15 ÷ 3
= 5
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 5
