Hector gave to Alisha twice as many as he had given Todd, for a total of 4*2=<<4*2=8>>8 gumballs, Hector gave 5 less than four times as many to Bobby as he had given to Alisha, or a total of (8*4)-5=<<8*4-5=27>>27 gumballs.

If Hector had 6 gumballs remaining, he originally purchased 4+8+27+6=<<4+8+27+6=45>>45 gumballs.
