To get the number of people at Taylor's party, we'll assume there were n people at his party.

The total number of people at Ryan's party is 4*n, four times the number of attendees at Taylor's party.

Combined, there were 4n+n = 240 people at both parties.

This translates to 5n=240.

The total number of people at Taylor's party is n=240/5

There were n=<<48=48>>48 people at Taylor's party.

Since Ryan's party was 4 times as huge as Taylor's party, at Ryan's party, there were 48*4 = <<48*4=192>>192 people.
