The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- John wanted to give 14 of his Maldives coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from John, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Kay → 107 + 52 = 159
John → 130 + 48 = 178
Jen → 89 + 101 = 190
Ivan → 99 + 188 = 287
Ivan (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Maldives coins that John had = 4 u
4 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Number of coins that each child received
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 4
