Question: Paityn has 20 red hats and 24 blue hats. Her friend Zola has 4/5 times as many red hats as she has and twice the number of blue hats. If they combine all the hats together and share them equally between themselves, calculate the number of hats each gets.
Answer:
Paityn has a total of 20 hats + 24 hats = 44 hats. The number of red hats that Zola has is 4 / 5 * 20 hats = 16 hats. Zola also has 2 * 24 hats = 48 blue hats. Zola has a total of 48 hats + 16 hats = 64 hats. When they combine their hats, they have 64 hats + 44 hats = 108 hats. If they share the hats equally, each get 108 hats / 2 people = 54 hats / person. The answer is 54.
