The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Nick wanted to give 14 of his Finland coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Nick, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Ella → 142 + 100 = 242
(B) Ben → 44 + 150 = 194
(C) Julie → 140 + 14 = 154
(D) Nick → 72 + 127 = 199
Ella (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Finland coins that Nick had = 4 u
4 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 3 = 18
Number of coins that each child received
= 18 ÷ 3
= 6
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 6
