There were 26 more children in Group X than in Group Y. If 8 children transferred from Group X to Group Y, how many more children would be in Group X than in Group Y?
|
Group X |
Group Y |
|
Before |
1 u + 26 |
1 u |
|
Change |
- 8 |
+ 8 |
|
After |
1 u + 18 |
1 u + 8 |
|
Number of children that Group X had after transferring to Group Y
= 1 u + 26 - 8
= 1 u + 18
Number of children that Group Y had after the transfer
= 1 u + 8
Number of children in Group X more than in Group Y
= 18 - 8
= 10
Answer(s): 10
