Question

90 marbles were stored in two boxes, box A and box B. After 5 marbles were moved from box A to box B, both boxes had the same number of marbles. How many numbers were in box A orginally?

Answer 1

Answer: Hope this helps!

Explanation:

90 marbles

Box A 50

Box B 40

So if 5 from Box A were moved to Box B they would each have 45 marbles!

45+45=90

Answer 2

Answer: There were 50 marbles in box A, and 40 in box B.

Explanation:

90 divided by 2 is 45, so each box would have to end up with 45 marbles. 5 were transferred between the 2, from A to B, which means A had more originally.
