The table shows the types of coins collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of coins? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Xuan wanted to give 16 of her Jordan coins to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of coins from Xuan, how many coins did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of coins collected
(A) Molly → 113 + 27 = 140
(B) Owen → 162 + 25 = 187
(C) Xuan → 79 + 180 = 259
(D) Paul → 56 + 174 = 230
Xuan (C) had the most coins.
(b)
Number of Jordan coins that Xuan had = 6 u
6 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 6 = 30
Number of coins that each child received
= 30 ÷ 3
= 10
Answer(s): (a) C; (b) 10
