Martha is planning her Christmas party. She invited 2 families with 6 people and 3 families with 4 people. 8 people couldn't come due to illness, and 1/4 that number had previous commitments. How many people show up for Martha's party?
First find the total number of people from 6-person families: 2 families * 6 people/family = 
<gadget id="calculator">2*6</gadget>
<output>12</output>
12 people.
Then find the total number of people from 4-person families: 3 families * 4 people/family = 
<gadget id="calculator">3*4</gadget>
<output>12</output>
12 people.
Add those two numbers to find the total number of people Martha invited: 12 people + 12 people = 
<gadget id="calculator">12+12</gadget>
<output>24</output>
24 people.
Then find the number of people who couldn't come because they were sick: 8 people / 4 = 
<gadget id="calculator">8/4</gadget>
<output>2</output>
2 people.
Then subtract the people who couldn't come from the total to find the number who showed up: 24 people - 2 people - 8 people = 
<gadget id="calculator">24-2-8</gadget>
<output>14</output>
14 people.
