question: India has 4 more than half the number of states in the USA. What's the total number of states in both countries together?
answer: Since the number of states in the USA is 50, half that number is 1/2*50 = 25
  Since there are 4 more than half the number of states in the USA in India, there are 25+4 = <<4+25=29>>29 states in India.
  Together, the two countries have 50+29 = <<50+29=79>>79 states.
