There were 23 more children in Group R than in Group S. If 9 children transferred from Group R to Group S, how many more children would be in Group R than in Group S?

Group R |
Group S |
|
| Before |
1 u + 23 |
1 u |
|
| Change |
- 9 |
+ 9 |
|
| After |
1 u + 14 |
1 u + 9 |
|
Number of children that Group R had after transferring to Group S
= 1 u + 23 - 9
= 1 u + 14
Number of children that Group S had after the transfer
= 1 u + 9
Number of children in Group R more than in Group S
= 14 - 9
= 5
