There are 70 stickers in Container M and 20 stickers in Container N.
Some stickers are transferred from Container M to Container N.
Container N has 10 more stickers than Container M.
How many stickers are transferred from Container M to Container N?
|
Container M |
Container N |
Before |
70 |
20 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 10 |
Total number of stickers
= 70 + 20
= 90
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 = 90
2 u = 90 - 10 = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 2 = 40
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container M to Container N
= Number of stickers in Container M at first - Number of stickers in Container M in the end
= 70 - 40
= 30
Answer(s): 30
