Difference between the number of paper cranes that Kylie and Olivia folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Kylie and Olivia folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Kylie and Olivia folded in the end
= (1 u + 80) - (1 u + 28)
= 1 u + 80 - 1 u - 28
= 80 - 28
= 52
4 p = 52
1 p = 52 ÷ 4 = 13
Number of paper cranes that Olivia folded
= 3 p
= 3 x 13
= 39
