There are 70 stickers in Container K and 60 stickers in Container L.
Some stickers are transferred from Container K to Container L.
Container L has 60 more stickers than Container K.
How many stickers are transferred from Container K to Container L?
|
Container K |
Container L |
Before |
70 |
60 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 60 |
Total number of stickers
= 70 + 60
= 130
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 = 130
2 u = 130 - 60 = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 2 = 35
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container K to Container L
= Number of stickers in Container K at first - Number of stickers in Container K in the end
= 70 - 35
= 35
Answer(s): 35
