Difference between the number of paper stars that Shiyun and Lynn folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper stars that Shiyun and Lynn folded in the end
= 7 p - 2 p
= 5 p
Difference between the number of paper stars that Shiyun and Lynn folded in the end
= (1 u + 80) - (1 u + 15)
= 1 u + 80 - 1 u - 15
= 80 - 15
= 65
5 p = 65
1 p = 65 ÷ 5 = 13
Number of paper stars that Lynn folded
= 2 p
= 2 x 13
= 26
Answer(s): 26
