The total resistance is

R₁ + R₂ + [ (R₃R₄)/(R₃ + R₄) ] .

It's not possible to give you the number, because you haven't
told us the actual resistance of any of the four resistors.

The current supplied by the battery is

(the voltage of the battery)
divided by
(the resistance described above in part-1) .
