There are 85 stickers in Container W and 30 stickers in Container X.
Some stickers are transferred from Container W to Container X.
Container W has 5 more stickers than Container X.
How many stickers are transferred from Container W to Container X?
|
Container W |
Container X |
Before |
85 |
30 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 5 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 85 + 30
= 115
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 = 115
2 u = 115 - 5 = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container W to Container X
= Number of stickers in Container X in the end - Number of stickers in Container X at first
= 55 - 30
= 25
Answer(s): 25
