There are 90 stickers in Container X and 50 stickers in Container Y.
Some stickers are transferred from Container X to Container Y.
Container Y has 10 more stickers than Container X.
How many stickers are transferred from Container X to Container Y?
|
Container X |
Container Y |
Before |
90 |
50 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 10 |
Total number of stickers
= 90 + 50
= 140
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 10 = 2 u + 10
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 10 = 140
2 u = 140 - 10 = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 2 = 65
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container X to Container Y
= Number of stickers in Container X at first - Number of stickers in Container X in the end
= 90 - 65
= 25
Answer(s): 25
