Some stickers are transferred from Box N to Box P.
Box N has 10 more stickers than Box P.
How many stickers are transferred from Box N to Box P?

- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 10 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 70 + 30
= 100
Total number of stickers in the end = 1 u + 10 + 1 u = 2 u + 10
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 10 = 100
2 u = 100 - 10 = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 2 = 45
Number of stickers that are transferred from Box N to Box P
= Number of stickers in Box P in the end - Number of stickers in Box P at first
= 45 - 30
= 15
Answer(s): 15
