The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Ivan wanted to give 15 of his Zambia coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Ivan, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
Jem → 103 + 19 = 122
Ivan → 118 + 60 = 178
Jean → 41 + 152 = 193
Charlie → 46 + 189 = 235
Charlie (D) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Zambia coins that Ivan had = 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Number of coins that each child received
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 4
