There are 65 stickers in Container X and 25 stickers in Container Y.
Some stickers are transferred from Container X to Container Y.
Container X has 10 more stickers than Container Y.
How many stickers are transferred from Container X to Container Y?

Container X |
Container Y |
Before |
65 |
25 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 10 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 65 + 25
= 90
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 = 90
2 u = 90 - 10 = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 2 = 40
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container X to Container Y
= Number of stickers in Container Y in the end - Number of stickers in Container Y at first
= 40 - 25
= 15
Answer(s): 15
