What number is 14 less than two-thirds of 54?

The correct answer is: 67

To determine the number that is 14 less than two-thirds of 54, we start by calculating two-thirds of 54. Two-thirds of 54 can be calculated using the formula: \[ \frac{2}{3} \times 54 = \frac{2 \times 54}{3} = \frac{108}{3} = 36. \] Next, we need to find out what is 14 less than this result. This can be computed by subtracting 14 from 36: \[ 36 - 14 = 22. \] It's important to note that the answer should be 22, but none of the provided choices, including D, equals 22. Therefore, if this result had been presented as an option, it would have been the correct choice for the question. For clarity, the calculation process reveals that the number we're looking for is not in the provided options, indicating either a miscalculation in listing the choices or an error in the question context. The correct number, derived accurately from the calculations, is 22.
