The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Natalie wanted to give 15 of her Mexico coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Natalie, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Kay → 117 + 38 = 155
(B) Asher → 172 + 33 = 205
(C) Natalie → 32 + 195 = 227
(D) Pierre → 47 + 160 = 207
Natalie (C) had the most coins.
(b)
Number of Mexico coins that Natalie had = 5 u
5 u = 195
1 u = 195 ÷ 5 = 39
Number of coins that each child received
= 39 ÷ 3
= 13
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 13
