Let's solve the equations step-by-step.

We start with:
1. \( s = 4b \)
2. \( s + b = 55 \)

Substituting the value of \( s \) from the first equation into the second equation:

\[
4b + b = 55
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
5b = 55
\]

Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( b \):

\[
b = \frac{55}{5} = 11
\]

Thus, the value of \( b \) is \( \boxed{11} \).
