- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 25 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 90 + 55
= 145
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 = 145
2 u = 145 - 25 = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container P to Container Q
= Number of stickers in Container Q in the end - Number of stickers in Container Q at first
= 60 - 55
= 5
Answer(s): 5
