Difference between the number of paper balls that Fanny and Victoria folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper balls that Fanny and Victoria folded in the end
= (1 u + 37) - (1 u + 1)
= 1 u + 37 - 1 u - 1
= 37 - 1
= 36
4 p = 36
1 p = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
Number of paper balls that Victoria folded
= 3 p
= 3 x 9
= 27
