Question

Princess Madeline has 9 comics, Bob has 9 more comics than Princess Madeline, and Manny has 9 fewer comics than Bob. How many comics does Manny have?

Answer 1

\(\textbf{Detailed step-by-step solution: }\)
Number of comics Princess Madeline has = 9
Number of comics Bob has = 9 more than Princess Madeline = 9 + 9
9 + 9 = 18 comics
Number of comics Manny has = 9 fewer than Bob = 18 – 9
We know that 9 + 9 = 18
So, 18 – 9 = 9
Therefore, Manny has 9 comics.
