Debbie listens only to Frank Zappa or Weird Al Yankovic. She currently buys 10 Zappa and 20 Yankovic downloads per month. She would forgo Yankovic downloads for Zappa downloads at the rate of 2-to-1 whenever she has more Yankovic tunes than Zappas, but would forego only 1 Yankovic when the opposite is true. If you offered her 20 Zappa's next month, how many Yankovic downloads would she need to remain at the same level of tune-age satisfaction?

Well, you kind of need a launch point so let's assume that she has only done this for one month so she would have 10 Zappas and 20 Yankovics when you made the offer.
