Tabitha and her friends were excited to go to the Christmas parade because they knew candy would be thrown to the crowd from the floats. Tabitha caught 22 pieces of candy. Stan caught 13 pieces. Julie caught half the amount of candy as Tabitha caught and Carlos caught twice as much candy as Stan. How many pieces in total did the friends catch? Let's be accurate as possible.
Julie caught half the amount of Tabitha's 22 pieces so 22 / 2 = 11 pieces of candy caught by Julie. Carlos caught twice the amount of candy as Stan's 13 pieces so 2 * 13 = 26 pieces of candy caught by Carlos. All together, Tabitha caught 22 pieces, Stan had 13, Julie had 11 and Carlos had 26, so there were a total of 22 + 13 + 11 + 26 = 72 pieces of candy.
The answer: 72.
