How many quarts did the 16 students drink? ** 16 students drank 2 quarts = 16 * 2 = <<16*2=32>>32 quarts
How many quarts did the students drink in total? ** Students drank 6 + 32 quarts = <<6+32=38>>38 quarts
How many quarts of tea were there at the beginning of the party? ** Students + tea left = 38 + 10 quarts = <<38+10=48>>48 quarts
