Yoko and Jaslyn folded paper stars over two days. On Tuesday, Yoko folded 29 paper stars more than Jaslyn. On Wednesday, Yoko folded another 12 paper stars and Jaslyn folded another 13. At the end of the two days, Yoko made ⁵₈ of the total number of stars. What was the number of paper stars that Jaslyn folded?

	Yoko	Jaslyn	Difference
Before	1 u + 29	1 u	29
Change	+ 12	+ 13
After	1 u + 41	1 u + 13	28
Comparing between Yoko and Jaslyn in the end	5 p	3 p	2 p

Difference between the number of paper stars that Yoko and Jaslyn folded in the end is repeated.

Difference between the number of paper stars that Yoko and Jaslyn folded in the end
= 5 p - 3 p
= 2 p

Difference between the number of paper stars that Yoko and Jaslyn folded in the end
= (1 u + 41) - (1 u + 13)
= 1 u + 41 - 1 u - 13
= 41 - 13
= 28

2 p = 28

1 p = 28 ÷ 2 = 14

Number of paper stars that Jaslyn folded
= 3 p
= 3 x 14
= 42

Answer(s): 42
