Question

Rodney had 7 toffees MORE than Micah. Micah’s father then gave him 2 more toffees. How many toffees more than Micah would Rodney then have?

Answer 1

Rodney will have 9 toffees more than Micah.

Explanation:

Let the numbr of toffee Micah have = x

So, the number of toffee Rodney have = x + 7.

Since, Micah's father gave him 2 more toffees.

Then, number of toffee Micah now have = x + 2

So, number of toffees Rodney will have = (x+7) + 2 = x + 9.

Hence, Rodney will have 9 toffees more than Micah.
