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

### Instruction:
During the Mardi Gras parade, Latch caught four less than three times as many necklaces as did Rhonda.  If Rhonda caught half as many necklaces as did Boudreaux, and Boudreaux caught twelve necklaces, how many necklaces did Latch catch?

### Response:
 Rhonda alipata nusu ya mikufu kama ya Boudreaux, au (1/2)*12=<<12*1/2=6>>6 mikufu.
Mara tatu ya mikufu kama ya Rhonda ni 6*3=<<6*3=18>>18 mikufu.
Hivyo, Latch alipata mikufu minne chini ya mara tatu ya ile ya Rhonda, jumla ya mikufu 18-4=14.
