Irene and Elyse folded paper stars over two days. On Saturday, Irene folded 6 paper stars more than Elyse. On Sunday, Irene folded another 26 paper stars and Elyse folded another 10. At the end of the two days, Irene made ⁵₈ of the total number of stars. What was the number of paper stars that Elyse folded?

	Irene	Elyse	Difference
Before	1 u + 6	1 u	6
Change	+ 26	+ 10
After	1 u + 32	1 u + 10	22
Comparing between Irene and Elyse in the end	5 p	3 p	2 p

Difference between the number of paper stars that Irene and Elyse folded in the end is repeated.

Difference between the number of paper stars that Irene and Elyse folded in the end
= 5 p - 3 p
= 2 p

Difference between the number of paper stars that Irene and Elyse folded in the end
= (1 u + 32) - (1 u + 10)
= 1 u + 32 - 1 u - 10
= 32 - 10
= 22

2 p = 22

1 p = 22 ÷ 2 = 11

Number of paper stars that Elyse folded
= 3 p
= 3 x 11
= 33

Answer(s): 33
