How many stickers are transferred from Container U to Container V?

Container U |
Container V |
Before |

85 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 60 |
Total number of stickers
= 85 + 85
= 170
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 60 = 2 u + 60
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 60 = 170
2 u = 170 - 60 = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container U to Container V
= Number of stickers in Container U at first - Number of stickers in Container U in the end
= 85 - 55
= 30
Answer(s): 30
