There are 90 stickers in Container U and 65 stickers in Container V.
Some stickers are transferred from Container U to Container V.
Container V has 35 more stickers than Container U.
How many stickers are transferred from Container U to Container V?
|
Container U |
Container V |
Before |
90 |
65 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 35 |
Total number of stickers
= 90 + 65
= 155
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 35 = 2 u + 35
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 35 = 155
2 u = 155 - 35 = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container U to Container V
= Number of stickers in Container U at first - Number of stickers in Container U in the end
= 90 - 60
= 30
Answer(s): 30
