How many stickers are transferred from Container B to Container C?

Container B |
Container C |
Before |
95 |
85 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 40 |
Total number of stickers
= 95 + 85
= 180
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 40 = 2 u + 40
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 40 = 180
2 u = 180 - 40 = 140
1 u = 140 ÷ 2 = 70
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container B to Container C
= Number of stickers in Container B at first - Number of stickers in Container B in the end
= 95 - 70
= 25
Answer(s): 25
