Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 10 |
Total number of stickers
= 95 + 35
= 130
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 10 = 2 u + 10
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 10 = 130
2 u = 130 - 10 = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that are transferred from Box N to Box P
= Number of stickers in Box N at first - Number of stickers in Box N in the end
= 95 - 60
= 35
Answer(s): 35
