Sakura speaks 150 words per minute on average in Hungarian, and 190 words per minute on average in Polish. She once gave cooking instructions in Hungarian, followed by cleaning instructions in Polish. Sakura spent 555 minutes in total giving both instructions, and spoke 270 more words in Polish than in Hungarian. How long did Sakura speak in Hungarian, and how long did she speak in Polish?
