Since Suzy has 2 pens, Maurice would have 4. Then since Maurice has four pens Alice has seven times more than he does so 4•7=28. When you combine Suzy's and Alice's pens that gives us 30 but Paul has 2/3 of their pens so that would be 20. Since Paul has 20, Dawn has a dozen (12) more then he does so Dawn has 32 pens in total.
