Some stickers are transferred from Container V to Container W.
Container W has 15 more stickers than Container V.
How many stickers are transferred from Container V to Container W?
|
Container V |
Container W |
Before |
70 |
35 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 15 |
Total number of stickers
= 70 + 35
= 105
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 15 = 2 u + 15
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 15 = 105
2 u = 105 - 15 = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 2 = 45
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container V to Container W
= Number of stickers in Container V at first - Number of stickers in Container V in the end
= 70 - 45
= 25
Answer(s): 25
