First Day Mel gave away 59 marbles
Second day he gave away 24 less marbles than first day it means,
he gave total marbles on second day = first day marbles-24
=59-24=35 marbles
third day he gave away double marbles than first day it means,
he gave total marbles on third day = first day marbles*2
=59*2=118 marbles
last day he gave away 26 more marbles than third day it means,
he gave total marbles on last day = third day marbles+26
=118+26= 144 marbles
now we get amount of marbles he gave on first , second, third, last day
now we can find the number of marbles he gave in total days by adding the amount of marbles he gave in each day, it means
total marbles he gave = 59+35+118+144=356 marbles (Answer)
