homework and exercises - How to find the total current supplied to the circuit?



Recently, I came across a question based on finding electric current of a circuit. Here's the image...



I know, by using the formula $I=V/R$, we can easily calculate the current as $V$ is given and $R$ can be calculated from the diagram. In the book (from where I got the question),



Solve the $R$ (net) by combining the $6 \Omega$ and $2 \Omega$ resistances in parallel, and with both, $1.5 \Omega$ in series and whole parallel with $3 \Omega$.



I didn't get the logic they used. First, I thought of keeping 6, 2 and 1.5 ohm resistors in parallel and with all, the 3 ohm in series. But, that didn't work. Can someone please help me?
