There are 65 stickers in Container S and 10 stickers in Container T.
Some stickers are transferred from Container S to Container T.
Container S has 5 more stickers than Container T.
How many stickers are transferred from Container S to Container T?
|
Container S |
Container T |
Before |
65 |
10 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 5 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 65 + 10
= 75
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 = 75
2 u = 75 - 5 = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 2 = 35
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container S to Container T
= Number of stickers in Container T in the end - Number of stickers in Container T at first
= 35 - 10
= 25
Answer(s): 25
