There were 25 more children in Group U than in Group V. If 8 children transferred from Group U to Group V, how many more children would be in Group U than in Group V?
| |
Group U |
Group V |
|
| Before |
1 u + 25 |
1 u |
|
| Change |
- 8 |
+ 8 |
|
| After |
1 u + 17 |
1 u + 8 |
|
Number of children that Group U had after transferring to Group V
= 1 u + 25 - 8
= 1 u + 17
Number of children that Group V had after the transfer
= 1 u + 8
Number of children in Group U more than in Group V
= 17 - 8
= 9
