Solution
The correct option is C 8 novels Detailed step-by-step solution:
Number of novels Bob adds in the rack = 6
Number of novels Princess Madeline adds in the rack = 8
Total number of novels in the rack = 6 + 8 = 14
So, there are 14 novels on the rack.
Number of novels Manny removes from the racks = 6
We already know, 6 + 8 = 14
So, 14 – 6 = 8, since both the equations have the same parts and whole.
Therefore, the number of novels in the rack are 8.
