Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
Michelle had some leftover cans of silly string from her birthday party. She split them among Roger and 3 of his friends. Then Roger decided to give 2 of his cans to his brothers so that he now has 4 for himself. How many cans of silly string did Michelle have to start with?

### Response:
 Roger awali alikuwa na makopo 4 kwa ajili yake + makopo 2 aliyompa ndugu zake = <<4+2=6>>6 makopo.
Kwa kuwa marafiki zake walipokea kiasi sawa na Roger alivyokuwa nao awali, makopo 6 x marafiki 3 = <<6*3=18>>18 makopo.
Michelle alianza na makopo 6 yaliyokwenda kwa Roger + makopo 18 yaliyokwenda kwa marafiki zake = <<6+18=24>>24 makopo ya silly string.
