There are 75 stickers in Container V and 25 stickers in Container W.
Some stickers are transferred from Container V to Container W.
Container V has 10 more stickers than Container W.
How many stickers are transferred from Container V to Container W?

Container V |
Container W |
Before |

25 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 10 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 75 + 25
= 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 Container V to Container W
= Number of stickers in Container W in the end - Number of stickers in Container W at first
= 45 - 25
= 20
Answer(s): 20
