Some stickers are transferred from Container G to Container H.
Container G has 5 more stickers than Container H.
How many stickers are transferred from Container G to Container H?

Container G |
Container H |
Before |
50 |
35 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 5 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 50 + 35
= 85
Total number of stickers in the end = 1 u + 5 + 1 u = 2 u + 5
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 5 = 85
2 u = 85 - 5 = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 2 = 40
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container G to Container H
= Number of stickers in Container H in the end - Number of stickers in Container H at first
= 40 - 35
= 5
Answer(s): 5
