The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Howard wanted to give 12 of his Peru coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Howard, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Sonia → 134 + 91 = 225
(B) Lee → 75 + 144 = 219
(C) Dana → 133 + 44 = 177
(D) Howard → 84 + 140 = 224
Sonia (A) has the most coins.
(b)
Number of Peru coins that Howard had = 2 u
2 u = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 3 = 42
Number of coins that each child received
= 42 ÷ 3
= 14
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 14
