How many stickers are transferred from Container R to Container S?

- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 20 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 95 + 55
= 150
Total number of stickers in the end = 1 u + 20 + 1 u = 2 u + 20
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 20 = 150
2 u = 150 - 20 = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 2 = 65
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container R to Container S
= Number of stickers in Container S in the end - Number of stickers in Container S at first
= 65 - 55
= 10
Answer(s): 10
