Ryan bought a certain number of plants for his garden. In the morning, he planted half of what he bought plus 10 plants. In the afternoon, he planted half of what was left plus 5 plants. Feeling tired, he left the rest until the next day, when he planted half of what was left. He then had 5 plants that were in bad shape.

How many plants did he start with?
