How many stickers are transferred from Container A to Container B?

Container A |
Container B |
Before |
95 |
85 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 20 |
Total number of stickers
= 95 + 85
= 180
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 = 180
2 u = 180 - 20 = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 2 = 80
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container A to Container B
= Number of stickers in Container A at first - Number of stickers in Container A in the end
= 95 - 80
= 15
Answer(s): 15
