Difference between the number of paper balls that Roshel and Gwen folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper balls that Roshel and Gwen folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper balls that Roshel and Gwen folded in the end
= (1 u + 42) - (1 u + 6)
= 1 u + 42 - 1 u - 6
= 42 - 6
= 36
4 p = 36
1 p = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
Number of paper balls that Roshel folded
= 7 p
= 7 x 9
= 63
Answer(s): 63
