Brendan has entered a kickboxing competition and wins matches against multiple contestants. He wins all of the matches in the first 2 rounds, each of which had 6 matches, then wins half of the 4 matches in the last round. How many matches did Brendan win throughout the competition? Give me reasons, before answering the question

In the first 2 rounds, Brendan wins a total of 2 rounds * 6 matches per round = 12 matches. In the last round, Brendan wins half of the matches which is 4 matches / 2 = 2 matches. Throughout the competition, Brendan has therefore won 12 + 2 = 14 matches. So the final answer is 14.
