Alice folds 1000 * 0.5 = <<1000*0.5=500>>500 paper cranes by herself.

This leaves 1000 – 500 = <<1000-500=500>>500 paper cranes left to fold.

A friend folds a fifth of the remaining amount, so they have folded 500 / 5 = <<500/5=100>>100 paper cranes for her.

This means there is a total of 1000 – 500 – 100 = <<1000-500-100=400>>400 paper cranes left for Alice to fold.
