The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- David wanted to give 13 of his Australia stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from David, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Della → 131 + 93 = 224
(B) Cole → 23 + 150 = 173
(C) Nicole → 140 + 47 = 187
(D) David → 63 + 147 = 210
Della (A) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Australia stamps that David had = 3 u
3 u = 63
1 u = 63 ÷ 3 = 21
Number of stamps that each child received
= 21 ÷ 3
= 7
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 7
