Cindy and Risa folded paper cranes over two days. On Tuesday, Cindy folded 6 paper cranes more than Risa. On Wednesday, Cindy folded another 32 paper cranes and Risa folded another 8. At the end of the two days, Cindy made ⁵₇ of the total number of cranes. What was the number of paper cranes that Cindy folded?

	Cindy	Risa	Difference
Before	1 u + 6	1 u	6
Change	+ 32	+ 8
After	1 u + 38	1 u + 8	30
Comparing between Cindy and Risa in the end	5 p	2 p	3 p

Difference between the number of paper cranes that Cindy and Risa folded in the end is repeated.

Difference between the number of paper cranes that Cindy and Risa folded in the end
= 5 p - 2 p
= 3 p

Difference between the number of paper cranes that Cindy and Risa folded in the end
= (1 u + 38) - (1 u + 8)
= 1 u + 38 - 1 u - 8
= 38 - 8
= 30

3 p = 30

1 p = 30 ÷ 3 = 10

Number of paper cranes that Cindy folded
= 5 p
= 5 x 10
= 50

Answer(s): 50
