Elyse and Fanny folded paper balls over two days. On Saturday, Elyse folded 25 paper balls more than Fanny. On Sunday, Elyse folded another 14 paper balls and Fanny folded another 7. At the end of the two days, Elyse made ⁷₁₀ of the total number of balls. What was the number of paper balls that Elyse folded?

	Elyse	Fanny	Difference
Before	1 u + 25	1 u	25
Change	+ 14	+ 7
After	1 u + 39	1 u + 7	32
Comparing between Elyse and Fanny in the end	7 p	3 p	4 p

Difference between the number of paper balls that Elyse and Fanny folded in the end is repeated.

Difference between the number of paper balls that Elyse and Fanny folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p

Difference between the number of paper balls that Elyse and Fanny folded in the end
= (1 u + 39) - (1 u + 7)
= 1 u + 39 - 1 u - 7
= 39 - 7
= 32

4 p = 32

1 p = 32 ÷ 4 = 8

Number of paper balls that Elyse folded
= 7 p
= 7 x 8
= 56

Answer(s): 56
