The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Michael wanted to give 12 of his Italy coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Michael, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Elsa → 115 + 31 = 146
Michael → 157 + 24 = 181
Wendy → 56 + 157 = 213
Rael → 45 + 170 = 215
Rael (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Italy coins that Michael had = 2 u
2 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
Number of coins that each child received
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 4
