Kendra has 4 packs of pens. Tony has 2 packs of pens. There are 3 pens in each pack. If Kendra and Tony decide to keep two pens each and give the remaining pens to their friends one pen per friend, how many friends will they give pens to?
Kendra has 4 packs x 3 pens/pack =<<4*3=12>>12 pens
Tony has 2 packs x 3 pens/pack = <<2*3=6>>6 pens
In total Kendra and Tony have 12 pens + 6 pens = <<12+6=18>>18 pens
If they each keep 2 pens, they keep 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 pens
They will be able to give a pen to 18 pens - 4 pens = <<18-4=14>>14 of their friends
