The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Wesley wanted to give 12 of his Zambia stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Wesley, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Mary → 147 + 74 = 221
(B) Perry → 61 + 112 = 173
(C) Barbara → 189 + 11 = 200
(D) Wesley → 60 + 156 = 216
Mary (A) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Zambia stamps that Wesley had = 2 u
2 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 3 = 30
Number of stamps that each child received
= 30 ÷ 3
= 10
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 10
