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

### Instruction:
In a game, Samanta has 8 more points than Mark, and Mark has 50% more points than Eric. Eric has 6 points. How many points do Samanta, Mark, and Eric have in total?

### Response:
Mark has 50% more points than Eric, which means Mark has 1 + 0.50 = 1.5 times more points than Eric.
This would give Mark 6 * 1.5 = <<6*1.5=9>>9 points.
Samanta has 8 more points than Mark, which would give her 9 + 8 = <<8+9=17>>17 points.
So in total, Samanta, Mark, and Eric have 6 + 9 + 17 = <<6+9+17=32>>32 points.
