Difference between the number of paper balls that Gem and Xylia folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper balls that Gem and Xylia folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper balls that Gem and Xylia 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 balls that Gem folded
= 7 p
= 7 x 15
= 105
Answer(s): 105
