Before he lost one, Policeman O'Brien had 5 more than twice as many hats as fire chief Simpson. If fire chief Simpson has 15 hats, how many hats does Policeman O'Brien now have?
How many hats does fire chief Simpson have? ** Twice as many hats as fire chief Simpson has is 2 * 15 = <<2*15=30>>30 hats.
How many hats does fire chief Simpson have? ** 5 more than 30 hats is 30 + 5 = <<30+5=35>>35 hats.
How many hats does fire chief Simpson have? ** One less than 35 hats is 35 - 1 = <<35-1=34>>34 hats.
