Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 15 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 85 + 40
= 125
Total number of stickers in the end = 1 u + 15 + 1 u = 2 u + 15
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 15 = 125
2 u = 125 - 15 = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container Q to Container R
= Number of stickers in Container R in the end - Number of stickers in Container R at first
= 55 - 40
= 15
Answer(s): 15
