Answer:

12 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Points scored by collecting 7 coins = 581

Number of coins required to collect 996 points

Let Number of coins = c

7 coins = 581 points

c coins = 996 points

Cross multiply :

581 * c = 996 * 7

581c = 6972

Divide both sides by 581

581c / 581 = 6972 / 581

c = 12

Hence, number of coins required to collect 996 points is 12
