How many stickers are transferred from Container P to Container Q?

Container P |
Container Q |
Before |
90 |
90 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 90 |
Total number of stickers
= 90 + 90
= 180
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 90 = 2 u + 90
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 90 = 180
2 u = 180 - 90 = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 2 = 45
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container P to Container Q
= Number of stickers in Container P at first - Number of stickers in Container P in the end
= 90 - 45
= 45
Answer(s): 45
