Janelle has 14 more sticker albums than May. Trinity has five times as many sticker albums as May. If they have a total of 497 sticker albums, how many sticker albums does Janelle have?
One more:
There are 96 more paper clips in Box A than in Box B. How many paper clips must be transferred from Box A to Box B so that there are 48 more paperclips in Box A than in Box B? -

May-----|__|......................} Total 497
Trinity--|__|__|__|__|__|...)
497 - 14 = 483
7u --> 483
1u --> 69
69 + 14 = 83
Janelle has 83 sticker albums.
96 - 48 = 48
48 / 2 = 24
24 paperclips must be transferred from box A to B. -
Garfieldpal:
Why divide by 2?
96 - 48 = 48
48 / 2 = 24
24 paperclips must be transferred from box A to B.
Can explain with model? -

Thank you so much.

At first Jar A : 88 more
End Jar A : 112 more
So the diffrence has increased by 112 - 88 = 24
If transfer 1 from B to A ; B will become 1 less and A will become 1 more ; the difference has increased by 2.
So transfer 12 from B to A ; B will become 12 less and A will become 12 more ; the difference has increased by 12.
In short, 24 needs to be divided by 2.
