Difference between the number of paper cranes that Abi and Julie folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Abi and Julie folded in the end
= (1 u + 47) - (1 u + 7)
= 1 u + 47 - 1 u - 7
= 47 - 7
= 40
4 p = 40
1 p = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Number of paper cranes that Julie folded
= 3 p
= 3 x 10
= 30
