Difference between the number of paper cranes that Tina and Marion folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Tina and Marion folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Tina and Marion folded in the end
= (1 u + 74) - (1 u + 26)
= 1 u + 74 - 1 u - 26
= 74 - 26
= 48
4 p = 48
1 p = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Number of paper cranes that Tina folded
= 7 p
= 7 x 12
= 84
Answer(s): 84
