Some stickers are transferred from Container S to Container T.
Container T has 10 more stickers than Container S.
How many stickers are transferred from Container S to Container T?

Container S |
Container T |
Before |
75 |
45 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 10 |
Total number of stickers
= 75 + 45
= 120
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 10 = 2 u + 10
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 10 = 120
2 u = 120 - 10 = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container S to Container T
= Number of stickers in Container S at first - Number of stickers in Container S in the end
= 75 - 55
= 20
Answer(s): 20
