Some stickers are transferred from Container J to Container K.
Container J has 5 more stickers than Container K.
How many stickers are transferred from Container J to Container K?
|
Container J |
Container K |
Before |
85 |
50 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 5 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 85 + 50
= 135
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 = 135
2 u = 135 - 5 = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 2 = 65
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container J to Container K
= Number of stickers in Container K in the end - Number of stickers in Container K at first
= 65 - 50
= 15
Answer(s): 15
