Stacy has 6 fewer than half as many marbles as Mallory. If Stacy has thirty marbles, how many does Mallory have?

I got 54 and the correct answer was 23 and I want to see the work to get the correct answer.

Something's off about how the problem is currently proposed. If Stacy has not only half, but LESS THAN half of the amount of marbles Mallory has, Then how can Mallory have even fewer marbles than Mallory?
