Debelyn, Christel, and Andrena collect dolls. Debelyn had 20 dolls before she gave Andrena 2 dolls. Christel had 24 dolls before giving Andrena 5 dolls. After all the gifts, Andrena now has 2 more dolls than Christel, how many more dolls does andrena have now than Debelyn? Let's answer step by step:
Debelyn had 20 - 2 = 18 dolls left after giving out 2 dolls to Christel. Christel had 24 + 2 = 26 dolls after receiving 2 dolls from Debelyn. Christel had 24 - 5 = 19 dolls after giving Andrena 5 dolls. So, Andrena has 19 + 2 = 21 dolls now. Therefore, Andrena has 21 - 18 = 3 more dolls than Debelyn. The answer: 3.
