a question about the westerlands army numbers. i know the common sensus seems to be around 50-55000 men in regards to how many the westerlands can raise. this is based on how many fought in the war of the five kings. but wasnt a large portion of tywins army composed of mercenaries in addition to his levies?

Not really. The only mercenaries we see serving Tywin are the Bloody Mummers, who only number a hundred altogether, and that Tyroshi band who abandoned Jaime’s army at the Camps and promptly vanished. 

I have some theories about why, but there’s no evidence on this.
