Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 55 |
Total number of stickers
= 95 + 80
= 175
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 55 = 2 u + 55
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 55 = 175
2 u = 175 - 55 = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that are transferred from Box V to Box W
= Number of stickers in Box V at first - Number of stickers in Box V in the end
= 95 - 60
= 35
Answer(s): 35
