Difference between the number of paper balls that Jane and Tammy folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper balls that Jane and Tammy folded in the end
= (1 u + 78) - (1 u + 26)
= 1 u + 78 - 1 u - 26
= 78 - 26
= 52
4 p = 52
1 p = 52 ÷ 4 = 13
Number of paper balls that Jane folded
= 7 p
= 7 x 13
= 91
