Container P has 15 more stickers than Container Q.
How many stickers are transferred from Container P to Container Q?

Container P |
Container Q |
Before |

20 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 15 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 45 + 20
= 65
Total number of stickers in the end = 1 u + 15 + 1 u = 2 u + 15
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 15 = 65
2 u = 65 - 15 = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 2 = 25
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
= 25 - 20
= 5
Answer(s): 5
