I would set up a proportion:

[tex]\frac{20}{x}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

The proportion basically says, "if there are 5 kids meals for every 4 adult meals, that means 20 kids meals would mean x adult meals."  Just cross multiply and then solve for x:

[tex]\frac{20}{x}=\frac{5}{4}\\5x=80\\x=16[/tex]

That means there are 20 kids meals sold and 16 adult meals sold, so the result is:

36 meals in total.
