There are 95 stickers in Container E and 40 stickers in Container F.
Some stickers are transferred from Container E to Container F.
Container F has 5 more stickers than Container E.
How many stickers are transferred from Container E to Container F?
|
Container E |
Container F |
Before |
95 |
40 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 5 |
Total number of stickers
= 95 + 40
= 135
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 5 = 2 u + 5
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 5 = 135
2 u = 135 - 5 = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 2 = 65
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container E to Container F
= Number of stickers in Container E at first - Number of stickers in Container E in the end
= 95 - 65
= 30
Answer(s): 30
