There are 100 stickers in Container F and 5 stickers in Container G.
Some stickers are transferred from Container F to Container G.
Container G has 5 more stickers than Container F.
How many stickers are transferred from Container F to Container G?
|
Container F |
Container G |
Before |
100 |
5 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 5 |
Total number of stickers
= 100 + 5
= 105
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 = 105
2 u = 105 - 5 = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container F to Container G
= Number of stickers in Container F at first - Number of stickers in Container F in the end
= 100 - 50
= 50
Answer(s): 50
