My question is: Brian has twice as many tennis balls as Frodo, who has 8 more than Lily. If Lily has 3 tennis balls, how many does Brian have? Your thoughts:
Frodo has 8 tennis balls more than Lily (who has 3), so he has 8 + 3 = 11 tennis balls. Brian has twice as many as Frodo, which makes 11 * 2 = 22 tennis balls. The final answer: 22.
