<human>:  If Brooke adds eight balloons to his current 12, and Tracy adds 24 to her current 6, how many balloons will they have in total if Tracy pops half of her balloons?
<bot>: How many balloons does Brooke get? ** When Brooke gets twelve more balloons, his total becomes 12+8 = <<12+8=20>>20
How many balloons does Tracy get? ** When Tracy adds 24 more balloons to her 6, her total number of balloons becomes 24+6 = <<24+6=30>>30
How many balloons does Tracy have left? ** When half of Tracy's balloons pop, she remains with 1/2*30 =<<1/2*30=15>>15
How many balloons will Brooke and Tracy have in total? ** The combined total balloons for the two is 15+20 = <<15+20=35>>35 balloons
