Andy harvests all the tomatoes from 18 plants that have 7 tomatoes each. If he dries half the tomatoes and turns a third of the remainder into marinara sauce, how many tomatoes are left?

How many tomatoes are harvested? ** First find the total number of tomatoes harvested: 18 plants * 7 tomatoes/plant = <<18*7=126>>126 tomatoes
How many tomatoes are left undried? ** Then divide that number by 2 to find how many tomatoes are left undried: 126 tomatoes / 2 = <<126/2=63>>63 tomatoes
How many tomatoes are turned into sauce? ** Then divide that number by 3 to find how many tomatoes are turned into sauce: 63 tomatoes / 3 = <<63/3=21>>21 tomatoes
How many tomatoes are left? ** Then subtract that number from the number of undried tomatoes to find the remaining number of tomatoes: 63 tomatoes - 21 tomatoes = <<63-21=42>>42 tomatoes
