Lydia baked a total of 144 chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter treats for Valentine's Day. Initially, the ratio of chocolate chip cookies to peanut butter treats was 5:3. After Lydia's friends ate 2/5 of her chocolate chip cookies and some of her peanut butter treats, the cookies outnumbered the treats 6 to 1. How many peanut butter treats did she have left?
