The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Albert wanted to give 14 of his Brazil stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Albert, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) May → 150 + 83 = 233
(B) Sam → 12 + 199 = 211
(C) Gillian → 122 + 36 = 158
(D) Albert → 84 + 134 = 218
May (A) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Brazil stamps that Albert had = 4 u
4 u = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 3 = 21
Number of stamps that each child received
= 21 ÷ 3
= 7
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 7
