There are 40 stickers in Container Y and 10 stickers in Container Z.
Some stickers are transferred from Container Y to Container Z.
Container Y has 10 more stickers than Container Z.
How many stickers are transferred from Container Y to Container Z?
|
Container Y |
Container Z |
Before |
40 |
10 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u + 10 |
1 u |
Total number of stickers
= 40 + 10
= 50
Total number of stickers in the end = 1 u + 10 + 1 u = 2 u + 10
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 10 = 50
2 u = 50 - 10 = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 2 = 20
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container Y to Container Z
= Number of stickers in Container Z in the end - Number of stickers in Container Z at first
= 20 - 10
= 10
Answer(s): 10
