Difference between the number of paper balls that Nora and Elyse folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper balls that Nora and Elyse folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper balls that Nora and Elyse folded in the end
= (1 u + 43) - (1 u + 11)
= 1 u + 43 - 1 u - 11
= 43 - 11
= 32
4 p = 32
1 p = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Number of paper balls that Nora folded
= 7 p
= 7 x 8
= 56
Answer(s): 56
