Some stickers are transferred from Container E to Container F.
Container E has 25 more stickers than Container F.
How many stickers are transferred from Container E to Container F?

- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 25 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 100 + 65
= 165
Total number of stickers in the end = 1 u + 25 + 1 u = 2 u + 25
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 25 = 165
2 u = 165 - 25 = 140
1 u = 140 ÷ 2 = 70
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container E to Container F
= Number of stickers in Container F in the end - Number of stickers in Container F at first
= 70 - 65
= 5
Answer(s): 5
