The table shows the number of books the children had borrowed. A total of 76 books were borrowed by the children.
- How many children borrowed 3 books or less?
- How many children borrowed 5 books?
(a)
Number of children who borrowed 3 books or less
= 8 + 4 + 7
= 19
(b)
Total number of books borrowed by each child who borrowed 1 to 4 books each
= 1 x 8 + 2 x 4 + 3 x 7 + 4 x 6
= 61
Number of children who borrowed 5 books each
= (76 - 61) ÷ 5
= 15 ÷ 5
= 3
Answer(s): (a) 19; (b) 3
