One molecule of glucose breaks down into two molecules of PGAL. Therefore, three molecules of glucose would yield six molecules of PGAL. If one molecule of glucose yields 38 ATPs (under aerobic conditions), then three molecules of it would yield ​114 ATPs.

One G3P will produce 2 ATP in glycolysis. One glucose molecule will produce 2 G3P, which will produce 2 ATP each for a total of 4 ATP per glucose.

One molecule of glucose yields 2 molecules of g3p. Here 38 ATPs are produced.
Therefore for 1 molecule of g3p, ATPs produced=38/2=19 ATPs.
