Please help with answering this practice problem

For Valentine's day, Romeo and Juliet buy gifts for each other. We will model the
amount Romeo spends as a random variable uniformly distributed between $0 and
$20, and the amount that Juliet spends as a uniform random variable between $0
and $25. We will also assume that the amounts they spend are independent of
one another. What is the pdf of Z, the total amount of money (in dollars) they
spend on each other this Valentine's day?
