Some stickers are transferred from Container D to Container E.
Container E has 55 more stickers than Container D.
How many stickers are transferred from Container D to Container E?

Container D |
Container E |
Before |
80 |
65 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 55 |
Total number of stickers
= 80 + 65
= 145
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 = 145
2 u = 145 - 55 = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 2 = 45
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container D to Container E
= Number of stickers in Container D at first - Number of stickers in Container D in the end
= 80 - 45
= 35
Answer(s): 35
