Georgia, who lives in a cold area, has 13 pairs of matched gloves in different patterns. If she loses 9 individual gloves, what is the greatest number of pairs of matched gloves she can have left?

a) 9
b) 8
c) 7
d) 6
e) 5

Please assist with above problem.

Of the 9 individual gloves she loses, she could have lost 8 paired gloves (i.e., 4 pairs of matched gloves) and one unpaired glove. Therefore, the minimum number of pairs of gloves she could have lost is 5 and thus she could still have a maximum of 8 pairs of matched pairs left.

Answer: B
