Some stickers are transferred from Container Y to Container Z.
Container Z has 40 more stickers than Container Y.
How many stickers are transferred from Container Y to Container Z?
|
Container Y |
Container Z |
Before |
85 |
65 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 40 |
Total number of stickers
= 85 + 65
= 150
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 40 = 2 u + 40
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 40 = 150
2 u = 150 - 40 = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container Y to Container Z
= Number of stickers in Container Y at first - Number of stickers in Container Y in the end
= 85 - 55
= 30
Answer(s): 30
