Of the N candies in a bag, some are peppermint and the rest are spearmint. What is the value of N?

1. If 1 peppermint candy were removed from the N candies, 1/5 of the remaining candies would be peppermint.

2. If 2 spearmint candies were removed from the N candies, 1/4 of the remaining candies would be peppermint.
