There are 55 stickers in Container T and 40 stickers in Container U.
Some stickers are transferred from Container T to Container U.
Container T has 5 more stickers than Container U.
How many stickers are transferred from Container T to Container U?
|
Container T |
Container U |
Before |
55 |
40 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 5 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 55 + 40
= 95
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 = 95
2 u = 95 - 5 = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 2 = 45
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container T to Container U
= Number of stickers in Container U in the end - Number of stickers in Container U at first
= 45 - 40
= 5
Answer(s): 5
