Container J has 10 more stickers than Container K.
How many stickers are transferred from Container J to Container K?

Container J |
Container K |
Before |
90 |
70 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 10 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 90 + 70
= 160
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 = 160
2 u = 160 - 10 = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 2 = 75
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container J to Container K
= Number of stickers in Container K in the end - Number of stickers in Container K at first
= 75 - 70
= 5
Answer(s): 5
