To find out how many markers Santo has in total, we need to add up the number of yellow, blue, and red markers.
Santo has 14 yellow markers.
He has twice as many blue markers as yellow markers, which means he has 14 x 2 = 28 blue markers.
He also has twice as many red markers as blue markers, so he has 28 x 2 = 56 red markers.
To find the total number of markers, we add up the number of yellow, blue, and red markers:
14 yellow markers + 28 blue markers + 56 red markers = 98 markers
Therefore, Santo has a total of 98 markers.
