Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

First, do 28 times two, since he's getting twice as many colored pencils. You should get 56. Then you take 11, and since he has 3 sisters you multiply it by three. Then you have 33. When you get this, you need to subtract 33 from 56. You should get 23 and that's your answer.
