Ed and Ann both have lemonade with their lunch. Ed orders the regular size. Ann gets the large lemonade, which is $50\%$ more than the regular. After both consume $\tfrac{3}{4}$ of their drinks, Ann gives Ed a third of what she has left, and $2$ additional ounces. When they finish their lemonades they realize that they both drank the same amount. How many ounces of lemonade did they drink together?

Problems 17, 18, and 19 refer to the following:
At Central Middle School the 108 students who take the AMC8 meet in the evening to talk about problems and eat an average of two cookies apiece. Walter and Gretel are baking Bonnie's Best Bar Cookies this year. Their recipe, which makes a pan of 15 cookies, lists this items: 1.5 cups flour, 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons butter, 3/4 cups sugar, and 1 package of chocolate drops. They will make only full recipes, not partial recipes.
The drummer gets sick. The concert is cancelled. Walter and Gretel must make enough pans of cookies to supply 216 cookies. There are 8 tablespoons in a stick of butter. How many sticks of butter will be needed? (Some butter may be left over, of course.)

Charles has two six-sided dice. One of the dice is fair, and the other die is biased so that it comes up six with probability $\tfrac23,$ and each of the other five sides has probability $\tfrac{1}{15}.$ Charles chooses one of the two dice at random and rolls it three times. Given that the first two rolls are both sixes, the probability that the third roll will also be a six is $\tfrac{p}{q},$ where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.
