Question: Mitch made 20 macarons. Joshua made 6 more macarons than Mitch but half as many macarons as Miles. Renz made 1 fewer than 3/4 as many macarons as Miles. If they will combine their macarons to give them to the kids on the street, how many kids would receive 2 macarons each? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Joshua made 20 + 6 = 26 macarons. Miles made 26 x 2 = 52 macarons. Three - fourths of Miles' macarons is 52 x 3 / 4 = 39. So Renz made 39 - 1 = 38 macarons. The four of them have a total of 20 + 26 + 52 + 38 = 136 macarons combined. Thus, 136 / 2 = 68 kids would receive 2 macarons each. So the answer is 68.
