The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Cole wanted to give 14 of his Denmark stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Cole, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Sonia → 107 + 52 = 159
Cole → 103 + 60 = 163
Elyse → 80 + 103 = 183
Zeph → 56 + 160 = 216
Zeph (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Denmark stamps that Cole had = 4 u
4 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 4 = 15
Number of stamps that each child received
= 15 ÷ 3
= 5
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 5
