Jerry had 1 action figures and 32 books on a shelf in his room. Later he added 13 more books to the shelf. How many more books than action figures were on his shelf?
Jerry had 1 action figure and 32 books on a shelf in his room. 

This means that we have a total of 33 objects on the shelf. 

Later, he added 13 more books to the shelf. 

This means that we now have a total of 46 objects on the shelf. 

Now, we need to find out how many more books than action figures were on his shelf. 

We can do this by subtracting the number of action figures from the total number of objects on the shelf. 

In this case, we would have 46 - 1 = 45. 

Therefore, there were 45 more books than action figures on Jerry's shelf.
