Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 30 |
Total number of stickers
= 95 + 55
= 150
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 30 = 2 u + 30
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 30 = 150
2 u = 150 - 30 = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that are transferred from Box U to Box V
= Number of stickers in Box U at first - Number of stickers in Box U in the end
= 95 - 60
= 35
Answer(s): 35
