Min and Linda folded paper stars over two days. On Saturday, Min folded 26 paper stars more than Linda. On Sunday, Min folded another 14 paper stars and Linda folded another 12. At the end of the two days, Min made ⁵₈ of the total number of stars. What was the number of paper stars that Min folded?

	Min	Linda	Difference
Before	1 u + 26	1 u	26
Change	+ 14	+ 12
After	1 u + 40	1 u + 12	28
Comparing between Min and Linda in the end	5 p	3 p	2 p

Difference between the number of paper stars that Min and Linda folded in the end is repeated.

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

Difference between the number of paper stars that Min and Linda folded in the end
= (1 u + 40) - (1 u + 12)
= 1 u + 40 - 1 u - 12
= 40 - 12
= 28

2 p = 28

1 p = 28 ÷ 2 = 14

Number of paper stars that Min folded
= 5 p
= 5 x 14
= 70

Answer(s): 70
