The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Japheth wanted to give 12 of his Egypt coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Japheth, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Kitty → 149 + 78 = 227
(B) Howard → 59 + 129 = 188
(C) Julie → 171 + 16 = 187
(D) Japheth → 48 + 175 = 223
Kitty (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Egypt coins that Japheth had = 2 u
2 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 3 = 24
Number of coins that each child received
= 24 ÷ 3
= 8
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 8
