The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Cathy wanted to give 16 of her Canada stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Cathy, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Jen → 103 + 75 = 178
(B) Neave → 166 + 13 = 179
(C) Cathy → 75 + 162 = 237
(D) Harry → 31 + 162 = 193
Cathy (C) had the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Canada stamps that Cathy had = 6 u
6 u = 162
1 u = 162 ÷ 6 = 27
Number of stamps that each child received
= 27 ÷ 3
= 9
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 9
