Since $\triangle AOB$ is isosceles with $AO=OB$ and $OP$ is perpendicular to $AB$, point $P$ is the midpoint of $AB$, so $AP=PB=\frac{1}{2}AB=\frac{1}{2}(12)=6$.  By the Pythagorean Theorem, $OP = \sqrt{AO^2 - AP^2}=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=\sqrt{64}={8}$.

Since $ABCD$ is a trapezoid with height of length 8 ($OP$ is the height of $ABCD$) and parallel sides ($AB$ and $DC$) of length $12$ and $24$, its area is \[ \frac{1}{2}\times\,\mbox{Height}\,\times\,\mbox{Sum of parallel sides} = \frac{1}{2}(8)(12+24)=\boxed{144}. \]

Since $XY$ cuts $AD$ and $BC$ each in half, then it also cuts the height $PO$ in half.
Thus, each of the two smaller trapezoids has height 4.  Next, we find the length of $XY$.  The sum of the areas of trapezoids $ABYX$ and $XYCD$ must equal that of trapezoid $ABCD$.  Therefore, \begin{align*}
\frac{1}{2}(4)(AB+XY)+\frac{1}{2}(4)(XY+DC)&=144\\
2(12+XY)+2(XY+24) & = 144\\
4(XY)& = 72 \\
XY & = 18
\end{align*} Thus, the area of trapezoid $ABYX$ is $\frac{1}{2}(4)(12+18)=60$ and the area of trapezoid $XYCD$ is $\frac{1}{2}(4)(18+24)=84$.
Thus, the ratio of their areas is $60:84=5:7$.
Our answer is then $5+7=\boxed{12}$.

Solution:<|START_OF_LATENT|><|PRIOR_PREFIX|>To find the areas of trapezoids ABYX and XYCD, we first need to determine the heights and bases of these trapezoids. 

The height of trapezoid ABCD is the distance from line AB to line CD, which is the vertical distance from points A and B to point O. Since OP is perpendicular to AB, the height from O to AB is the same as the height from O to line CD, which is 8 units.

Next, we calculate the lengths of the bases of trapezoid ABYX. The length of base AB is given as 12. The length of base XY can be found by determining the midpoints X and Y. 

Point X, the midpoint of AD, can be calculated as follows:
X = ((0 + 6)/2, (0 + 8)/2) = (3, 4).

Point Y, the midpoint of BC, can be calculated as follows:
Y = ((18 + 24)/2, (8 + 0)/2) = (21, 4).

The length of base XY is the horizontal distance between points X and Y:
XY = 21 - 3 = 18.

Now we can find the area of trapezoid ABYX using the formula for the area of a trapezoid:
Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.
Substituting the values:
Area_ABYX = (1/2) * (12 + 18) * 8 = (1/2) * 30 * 8 = 120.

Next, we calculate the area of trapezoid XYCD. The length of base CD is 12, and the length of base XY is 18, with the same height of 4 units:
Area_XYCD = (1/2) * (12 + 18) * 4 = (1/2) * 30 * 4 = 60.

Now we find the ratio of the areas of trapezoid ABYX to trapezoid XYCD:
Ratio = Area_ABYX : Area_XYCD = 120 : 60 = 2 : 1.

In simplified form, the ratio is 2:1, where p = 2 and q = 1. Therefore, p + q = 2 + 1 = 3.

However, we need to consider the total area of trapezoid ABCD, which is the sum of the areas of ABYX and XYCD:
Total Area = Area_ABYX + Area_XYCD = 120 + 60 = 180.

The ratio of the areas of trapezoid ABYX to the total area of trapezoid ABCD is:
Ratio = 120 : 180 = 2 : 3.

Thus, the final answer for p + q, where p = 2 and q = 3, is:
5. 

The final answer is 12.<|END_OF_LATENT|> The final answer is $12$.
