Some stickers are transferred from Container S to Container T.
Container T has 15 more stickers than Container S.
How many stickers are transferred from Container S to Container T?

Container S |
Container T |
Before |
95 |
20 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 15 |
Total number of stickers
= 95 + 20
= 115
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 15 = 2 u + 15
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 15 = 115
2 u = 115 - 15 = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container S to Container T
= Number of stickers in Container S at first - Number of stickers in Container S in the end
= 95 - 50
= 45
Answer(s): 45
