    Let x be the number of apples in Box B. The number of apples in box A is equal to x+125. After transferring 1/5 of the apples from A to B will give us the equation of,

    ((x) + (1/5) (x+125) - (4/5) (x+125) = 15

    The value of x from the equation is 225. Therefore, the number of apples in Box A and B are 350 and 225, respectively.
