In an activity, Xylia collected 294 coins. She collected 7 times as many coins as Roshel.
- How many coins did Roshel collect?
- How many more coins did Xylia collect than Roshel?
(a)
Number of coins that Roshel collected = 1 u
Number of coins that Xylia collected = 7 u = 294
7 u = 294
1 u = 294 ÷ 7 = 42
Number of coins that Roshel collected
= 1 u
= 42
(b)
Number of coins that Xylia collected more than Roshel
= 294 - 42
= 252
Answer(s): (a) 42; (b) 252
