There are 90 stickers in Container X and 40 stickers in Container Y.
Some stickers are transferred from Container X to Container Y.
Container Y has 30 more stickers than Container X.
How many stickers are transferred from Container X to Container Y?

Container X |
Container Y |
Before |
90 |
40 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 30 |
Total number of stickers
= 90 + 40
= 130
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 30 = 2 u + 30
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 30 = 130
2 u = 130 - 30 = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
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 - 50
= 40
Answer(s): 40
