Benjamin collects 6 dozen eggs a day. Carla collects 3 times the number of eggs that Benjamin collects. Trisha collects 4 dozen less than Benjamin. How many dozen eggs do the three collect total? Let's answer step by step:
Carla:3(6) = 18 dozen eggs. Trisha: 6 - 4 = 2 dozen eggs. Total: 6 + 18 + 2 = 26 dozen eggs. The answer: 26.
