Asher and Simon had some money at first. Asher received 4 times as much money as Simon every month. At the end of 2 months, both of them had the same amount of money. If Simon had $1470 at first and Asher had $1820 at the end of those 2 months, what is the ratio of Asher's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1820 |
Amount that Simon received every month
= 1820 - 1470
= $350
1 u = 350
Amount that Asher received every month
= 4 u
= 4 x 350
= $1400
Amount that Asher had at first
= 1820 - 1400
= $420
Total amount that Asher and Simon had at first
= 1470 + 420
= $1890
Asher's amount : Total amount
420 : 1890
2 : 9
Answer(s): 2 : 9
