In an activity, Lucy collected 240 coins. She collected 4 times as many coins as Emily.
- How many coins did Emily collect?
- How many more coins did Lucy collect than Emily?
(a)
Number of coins that Emily collected = 1 u
Number of coins that Lucy collected = 4 u = 240
4 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 4 = 60
Number of coins that Emily collected
= 1 u
= 60
(b)
Number of coins that Lucy collected more than Emily
= 240 - 60
= 180
Answer(s): (a) 60; (b) 180
