$2340 |
Amount that Neave received every month
= 2340 - 1260
= $1080
1 u = 1080
Amount that Julian received every month
= 2 u
= 2 x 1080
= $2160
Amount that Julian had at first
= 2340 - 2160
= $180
Total amount that Julian and Neave had at first
= 1260 + 180
= $1440
Julian's amount : Total amount
180 : 1440
1 : 8
Answer(s): 1 : 8
