Some stickers are transferred from Container V to Container W.
Container W has 25 more stickers than Container V.
How many stickers are transferred from Container V to Container W?

Container V |
Container W |
Before |
85 |
50 |
Change |
- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 25 |
Total number of stickers
= 85 + 50
= 135
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 25 = 2 u + 25
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 25 = 135
2 u = 135 - 25 = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of stickers that are transferred from Container V to Container W
= Number of stickers in Container V at first - Number of stickers in Container V in the end
= 85 - 55
= 30
Answer(s): 30
