The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Mary wanted to give 13 of her Fiji coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Mary, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Ella → 104 + 36 = 140
(B) Seth → 105 + 76 = 181
(C) Mary → 82 + 189 = 271
(D) Luis → 42 + 163 = 205
Mary (C) had the most coins.
(b)
Number of Fiji coins that Mary had = 3 u
3 u = 189
1 u = 189 ÷ 3 = 63
Number of coins that each child received
= 63 ÷ 3
= 21
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 21
