Need help with mass point geometry

[mackie]

I was wondering how mass point geometry could be used to solve this problem:

In triangle ABC, medians AD and CE intersect at P. PE=1.5, PD=2, and DE=2.5. What is the area of AEDC?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, but the actual application to a problem still eludes me

Did you draw a sketch of the situation?

AP/PD = ?

Did you realize that AC is parallel to ED?

AC/ED= ?
