When there is a current of mixed resistances (like parallel and series together), how do voltage drop and current relate throughout the circuit?

Elements in series always have the same current, and elements in parallel always have the same voltage drop. You just need to take care to determine whether two elements are actually in series/parallel; not all elements have this sort of relationship in every circuit.
