There are 100 stickers in Container N and 70 stickers in Container P.
Some stickers are transferred from Container N to Container P.
Container P has 60 more stickers than Container N.
How many stickers are transferred from Container N to Container P?
|
Container N |
Container P |
Before |
100 |
70 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 60 |
Total number of stickers
= 100 + 70
= 170
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 60 = 2 u + 60
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 60 = 170
2 u = 170 - 60 = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container N to Container P
= Number of stickers in Container N at first - Number of stickers in Container N in the end
= 100 - 55
= 45
Answer(s): 45
