Difference between the number of paper stars that Risa and Olivia folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper stars that Risa and Olivia folded in the end
= 7 p - 2 p
= 5 p
Difference between the number of paper stars that Risa and Olivia folded in the end
= (1 u + 41) - (1 u + 1)
= 1 u + 41 - 1 u - 1
= 41 - 1
= 40
5 p = 40
1 p = 40 ÷ 5 = 8
Number of paper stars that Olivia folded
= 2 p
= 2 x 8
= 16
