Some stickers are transferred from Container R to Container S.
Container S has 20 more stickers than Container R.
How many stickers are transferred from Container R to Container S?

Container R |
Container S |
Before |
85 |
25 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 20 |
Total number of stickers
= 85 + 25
= 110
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 20 = 2 u + 20
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 20 = 110
2 u = 110 - 20 = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 2 = 45
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container R to Container S
= Number of stickers in Container R at first - Number of stickers in Container R in the end
= 85 - 45
= 40
Answer(s): 40
