Difference between the number of paper stars that Xylia and Sarah folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper stars that Xylia and Sarah folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper stars that Xylia and Sarah folded in the end
= (1 u + 94) - (1 u + 34)
= 1 u + 94 - 1 u - 34
= 94 - 34
= 60
4 p = 60
1 p = 60 ÷ 4 = 15
Number of paper stars that Xylia folded
= 7 p
= 7 x 15
= 105
Answer(s): 105
