Purple flowers: black flowers = 4:8 = 108
4 + 8 = 12
108 / 12 = 9.
9 x 4 = 36.

There are now 28 members
all you do is 80 times 0.65 = 52

1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
