Brain Teaser Day 5

Gary began peeling a pile of 44 potatoes at the rate of 3 per minute. Four minutes later, Christen joined him, and peeled at the rate of 5 potatoes per minute. When they were finished, how many potatoes had each peeled?

If you think you know the answer, email me at MsALovesMath@gmail.com or bring your answer to class.  Good luck!!  This one is a lot easier than the others so far!
