Answer:

Total Dolls would Evelyn have had if she had not lost them = 9 Dolls

Explanation:

As given,

Total dolls Evelyn had = 9

Total dolls lost =
(1)/(3)× 9 = 3

So, Now

Evelyn had total dools after lost = 9 - 3 = 6

If she had not lost te dolls , then she had 3 dolls more

∴ we get

If she had not lost any dolls , Evelyn had total dolls = 6 + 3 = 9

So, The answer would be :

Total Dolls would Evelyn have had if she had not lost them = 9 Dolls
