Question

The young wizard, Darpinido, got 16 dragons and 12 griffins for his birthday. But his sister, In grid, left the gate open and more a=than 6 dragon and more than 3 griffins flew away. Now the young wizard has more griffins than dragons. What is the greatest number of dragons Darpinido could have now?

Answer 1

7 Dragons.

Explanation:

16 dragons 6+ dragons gone

12 griffins 3+ griffins gone

Let's say one more than 3 griffins are gone: 4 griffins are gone.

Then:

Griffins now = 8

Dragons now = <8

One less than 8 dragons is 7 dragons.

In the end, 4 griffins and 9 dragons had left.
