The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Owen wanted to give 13 of his Peru coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Owen, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Mary → 142 + 81 = 223
(B) Brandon → 57 + 123 = 180
(C) Emma → 127 + 63 = 190
(D) Owen → 54 + 146 = 200
Mary (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Peru coins that Owen had = 3 u
3 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 3 = 18
Number of coins that each child received
= 18 ÷ 3
= 6
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 6
