Carry that Weight

 

 

            Rachael the roofer is carrying shingles over her shoulder and a bucket of nails as she is climbing up the ladder to the roof.  The total weight she is carrying is 75 lbs.  The shingles weigh 4 times as much as the nails.  How much do the nails and the shingles weigh?
