There are 70 stickers in Container N and 40 stickers in Container P.
Some stickers are transferred from Container N to Container P.
Container N has 20 more stickers than Container P.
How many stickers are transferred from Container N to Container P?

Container N |
Container P |
Before |
70 |
40 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 20 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 70 + 40
= 110
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 = 110
2 u = 110 - 20 = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 2 = 45
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container N to Container P
= Number of stickers in Container P in the end - Number of stickers in Container P at first
= 45 - 40
= 5
Answer(s): 5
