The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Risa wanted to give 13 of her Ireland coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Risa, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Lily → 112 + 14 = 126
(B) Billy → 104 + 44 = 148
(C) Risa → 69 + 171 = 240
(D) Howard → 50 + 142 = 192
Risa (C) had the most coins.
(b)
Number of Ireland coins that Risa had = 3 u
3 u = 171
1 u = 171 ÷ 3 = 57
Number of coins that each child received
= 57 ÷ 3
= 19
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 19
