Some stickers are transferred from Container A to Container B.
Container B has 35 more stickers than Container A.
How many stickers are transferred from Container A to Container B?
|
Container A |
Container B |
Before |
90 |
65 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 35 |
Total number of stickers
= 90 + 65
= 155
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 35 = 2 u + 35
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 35 = 155
2 u = 155 - 35 = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container A to Container B
= Number of stickers in Container A at first - Number of stickers in Container A in the end
= 90 - 60
= 30
Answer(s): 30
